Honestly, it was probably the worst landing I've made since I was a student pilot. Luckily I recovered, everything was fine, and the most important part, there were no witnesses.
The lesson is you're never good enough to not mess up. Fatigue and overconfidence were both factors I think.
Kudos to you for sharing! None of my own instructors ever shared any of their own mistakes with me either. Lost learning opportunities.......
Of course, we all know professional pilots are perfect lol!
