It's you dude..

The 300 lands real nice with flaps 15 about 10 over ref with a pretty flat attitude..maybe 4 degrees pitch up or so..With the 300 it's all about speed control and approach stability. Big pitch changes in the 300 will hose you..you want to get it settled into a real nice constant pitch drift down all the way to the pavement then hold it off with a slightly high nose up pitch and it rolls on every time. Now if your fighting strong gusty winds the 300 lands like doo doo cuz ya have to just drive on the centerline throwing out any desire for a soft landing.The 100 is a bit more forgiving but lands like crap unless you have everything perfect.
