Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Remos Nose Gear Collapse

that is what it looked like to me to. Didn't see much of a flare at all.

I'm glad you all liked it and it's funny how we all watched the video but didn't interpret it the same way. Maybe if we got to see it from the outside too that would get us all closer in agreement.
I'm just a student pilot 11.1 hrs so far flying a 2003 Piper Archer III but to me it did look like he didn't flare much at all and had too much airspeed and came in flat if not more on the nose which is what I said when I posted this to start with and that I think that first hit probably broke the nose gear and then when he settled back in after the bounce it couldn't hold its own weight anymore and collapsed.
My instructors hands are hovering over the yoke at all times when I am landing and I have my hand on the throttle at all times when taking off or landing.

Cheers,
Chris
