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



The way I handle a landing with a student who I know is having sight picture or other landing issues is to cage the stick so the student can never push the nose down enough to land on it.  If there is a bounce on the mains I will hold the stick aft to keep the student from trying to force the plane back down and ensure that any subsequent bounces are on the mains.  I add power immediately after the first bounce on the mains (or if there is a stall coming right before it breaks) and execute a go-around and a lecture about what a bounce looks like and how it requires the student to go-around.  I do not teach recoveries from bounces or balloons with a student this early in his training, just go-arounds.
