You're doing it successfully for 40 years so I wouldn't change that! yep - in mph - 67 F 100 downwind 90 - base 80 final 70 at the flare beeeep - chirp wife looks at me and says - "nice one baby" 1 1 Quote

carusoam Posted May 8, 2018 Report Posted May 8, 2018 Translation... beeeep, chirp = nice one baby.... If the Mooney spoke English, that’s what she said. -a- 1 Quote
bradp Posted May 9, 2018 Report Posted May 9, 2018 Yeah but sometimes the mooney says things I don’t like ... beep beep beep. Thud. 1 Quote
carusoam Posted May 9, 2018 Report Posted May 9, 2018 Brad, Consider following 201er, for a moment... His bird(s) is like family... 201er bought a bauble for his M20J... like fine jewelry... a mere gift... She rewards him with the smoothest landings every time... the few that I witnessed, and every video he has posted over the last six years... The final moments of each flight end with Beep, chirp... not Beeep, chirp. The fancy bauble... An old AOAi... A classic one with a needle! PP thoughts only, not a CFI ... Best regards, -a- 1 Quote
