GREAT LESSON! Don't you think?

Its too bad it had to be learned with passengers on board, but some lessons can't be simulated and have to be experienced in real world situations. Thats why they call it experience! Maybe you flared to high, maybe not at all, maybe you weren't fully focused, maybe you just plain had a bad landing, and maybe it wasn't as bad as you thought it was. Whatever the reason is, only you can play it back and figure out what went wrong. However, remember that the right level of self critique is important. Make sure you focus on it enough that you learn from it, but not so much that it ruins your confidence and messes up your technique.
