Hi,

About 2 years ago, there was a prang reported in a local magazine where the PIC didn't or forgot to round out.

Descending at say 500 fpm like this -

It looks like they are doing a competition, maybe even a spot landing. All the folk right next to the runway, engine out, trike lined up. This is not an emergency situation.

I have seen that and the opposite happen where you try keep the trike in the sky too long and stall at 10 ft. The grey mist takes over and the brain stops thinking

Looks like classic getdownalitis. Brief forward on bar then moer the nosewheel down...

I got a pain in my butt just looking at the video, the pilot was very lucky not to get hurt

Well at least he gets full marks if it was a spot landing. He HIT the spot and stopped within plenty of distance

Agree with Morph, spotlanding comp! He went for the white line across the runway and got a brown line in his shorts!!!!

Hope he won the comp at least! Maybe he was the only one to stop within the allowed distance!!!
