Where?? >Paul Yeager You are obviously not a pilot. (or else you forgot your smiley face ) A good landing includes a full stall inches above the ground so that the plane touches down at the absolute minimum speed and STAYS there. Any higher speed can result in flying bounces leading to several nasty end results. If you fly with someone that consistantly lands without a stall light/horn going off I suggest you avoid them untill they get more training. Too many tricycle gear airplane drivers fall into this lazy habit and eventually end up buying a slightly bent prop or landing gear for decorating their den wall. (If their lucky). Tom
