dude, I am so high!

[eman1200]

on all 8 landings yesterday, started my roundout too high. all in all, not horrible, I mean I didn't really slam her down, but high high high. the rest of the pattern work looked really good, I thought. and, 14 hours later, I'm still smiling due to how much fun I had!

Possible solutions:

(1) Go land at an airport with a higher field elevation sufficient to close the gap.

(2) Use an airplane with longer gear legs.

(3) Stand up in your seat so your sight picture matches what you expect yet makes your wheels come closer to the runway.

(4) Wait till somebody else is trying to land and follow them in, matching their descent path. Following a large plane is good for this because you get immediate feedback on when you are near their descent path.
