And he can keep 250 knots not to the marker but to 1005'. He then is fully configured and stabilized at 1001'.
"You're turn new." He says.
That's how you're supposed to land right? One wheel at a time, right? I thought everyone did it like that! Hey, if you can't grease it on in Dubai, with 14,500' available and calm winds, you might as well take up golf!
But Scambo is right, it is the easiest landing airplane I've flown yet. Very forgiving with all those extra tires to absorb your impact!
