MY FIRST C172 LANDING IN 6 MONTHS (too high & long)

I head over to Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport (MYF) in San Diego to fly a Cessna 172 in the traffic pattern for the first time in 6 months. Here is short clip of my first landing.

    Better high than low!

    I can hear my CFI screaming - "Slip! Slip! Slip!" And muttering under his breath, "This poor plane, such abuse..."

    Remember these side effects. A narrow runway gives the illusion that you’re higher and a wide runway gives the illusion that you’re lower. So technically you were just a little bit high but hey a good landing is one where you crashed the plane but can still walk away and a great landing is where you can walk away and use the plane again.

    It doesn't need to be a great landing, it needs to be a safe landing.

    Not gonna lie. It took me a second to realize the first few seconds were sped up. I srsly thought you were coming at that runway over 100 knots haha

    After 6 months of not flying a go around would have been a very positive reinforcement for having a stabilized approach every time.

    After 67 years. The Cesena 172 is still standing. Truly a legend

    As long as you walk away from it you're good!

    Hell yeah, that was a fine landing

    Always practice the go around. Makes you strive for the perfect stabilized approach in all conditions.

    The touchdown itself was absolute grease, so good job. Also it was a safe landing (and on the centerline)

    You should have seen my first landing in a Cessna 150 after 30 years of not flying. Compared to that, you nailed it!
