So tell me that I'm not alone in this. Do you guys go through the same thing once in a while?
It happens to everyone (at least I think - hopefully).
The other night I had the worst landing ever... real nice VOR-A approach raining a little - trying to be as professional as possible - was going to make it a real greaser.....everything looked good... just forgot to flare or something - no float, no nothing...just wham! - really found the runway there.... so hard... I was very suprised the gear didn't call it a day and fold.... stopped on the runway and debated checking the gear, nervous about the turn onto the taxiway... luckily it was an empty leg and just one other person saw that... and he won't let me live it down (hey remember when we were coming back, and you almost folded the gear) - basically every bad landing is compared to mine now.
