As a licensed Private Pilot (not current) I enjoyed the videos immensely. Approach to landing is the most challenging segment of flight ...and the most satisfying when it's done correctly.
Success is more than landing ..without breaking the plane. It's a gracefull approach...staying on line...and touching down at the lowest possable speed in the shortest possable distance. On glare ice the toe brakes are nearly useless. With patches of snow stuck to the ice you have an option to use the brakes more agressively. On the ice, as on tarmac, turning the plane at taxi speed is done with differental braking.
In one of the videos there was a little
bleep from the "Stall Alarm" just on touchdown. The perfect landing.
