    FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
    I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.

    Neat! I now realize that this is the kind of thing I've been trying to do in our motor glider, i.e. the no-flare landing. Which probably isn't achievable in that sort of aircraft, which is normally deadsticked in anyway. I'll have to find me a cub to practice in instead :).
