Shania Twain & no flare tandem

Recommended Posts

Thanks for the link. I watched the landing several times and I really dont get what the instructor was doing - it doesnt look like a mistimed flare at all, it looks like he flared to about 1/4 brakes and held it til they biffed in.

As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...

Kind of looks like one of those flares where the arms get too far out in front. Bad arm geometry for applying downwards pressure on the toggles.

Add to that a Sigma canopy that has higher toggle pressures, and perhaps a stiff student resisting the flare, then any minor imperfection in the start of the flare gets magnified when it becomes hard to quickly add more flare to salvage the landing.

Rachael Ray didnt put her legs up like instructed (I assume she was instructed).
It appeared to me that this guy just didnt flare at all (okay he went to 1/4 brakes but then he held it to impact...or so it seems).
