I appreciate the info. I think I have my seat too high. I am doing a night flight this evening. I will try to lower the seat a little bit from what I normally do.
I have the seat usually pretty far forward so I can do full deflection of rudder pedals without locking my knees.
I flew a 172R model one a few months back and it felt way easier to flare/control on landing. Could be a lot of things but I think I had the seat quite a bit lower than what I do in the normal 172N I train in. My landings were way better in the R but then again maybe this was because of many other factors and not the seat position at all.
