Best nomination for the 'brown trouser award' I've seen in this thread yet.Jarek wrote:. . . in final phase I just dropped from 20 to 3ft above the runway in half a second (so more luck than brain). "fast and flat" option is limited due to tree planted near the threshold, but I've tried that and finally I stopped 10 meters from the end (where end means precipice).
I can echo everyone else in saying that coming in with little or no flaps, slightly fast (~80 KIAS over the fence) and cross-controlling with ailerons and rudder does help to mitigate some of the squirreliness. I ran a few laps in a moderate shifting crosswind environment last night and while it wasn't elegant, it was doable.
