How to do short field landings.

I am not an instructor, this are just techniques I learned on my own, and work for me, I never had proper backcountry instruction, I hope someone can find them useful.

Re: How to do short field landings.

Very good teaching video, Larry. You don't have to be an instructor to teach. Just a positive note from the mean old teacher who sometimes bothers pilots: I always watch the yoke steering aileron movement and fuss a bit about that with pilots. This is an area where you have improved very much. In the last year's videos it has been all rudder alignment on short final and no aileron wing wagging. I have really appreciated your videos, teaching, and improvement. Thanks to you and Jughead. I know we can't see the feet on the video, but it is not about coordination of aileron and rudder. It is about rudder only longitudinal alignment. We know that is happening when the yoke doesn't move like a steering wheel. Really good show, young man.

Two words: slow down. That also takes care of the bouncing issue.
