Hello everyone,

I’m a relative new pilot. I’m flying a Cessna 172 N in Europe. She’s got a CD-155 engine. She still has 40 degrees of flaps. I’d like to train short landings to become a better Pilot. Do you have any recommendations on how to land the C172? I’m also interested in the best mods for the C172N.

Kind regards!

Maybe incorporate some of this.

The first thing I would recommend is to get several hours of Spin/Aerobatic training this will not only make you a safer pilot but allow you to safely slow down your plane for a proper short field landing. Do not watch Valdez STOL events or 10 ft sandbar landings in Alaska and think that is how it is done with everyday flying. Properly flown a 172 can be a very good performing aircraft in short field operations.
