So sorry to hear about your plane. Hope you are okay and that there were no further damage to the plane. This is just me, but I try to approach the runway and approximately 500 fpm, most of the time. 2,000 fpm is a bit scary. The most I've seen was 1,500 fpm decent during engine out practice with my instructor. As an aside, I landed at Andover Airport yesterday and set MY shortest runway landing, 1,950 feet. I dragged the plane in using power and THUMPED it on the numbers (or close to it). It wasn't pretty but I only used 1,500 feet of runway space... -grease --part1_28.299070e4.2a65aa59_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In a message dated 07/16/2002 12:30:28 PM Eastern Daylight Time, lorn@dynacomm.ws writes:
