Strictly speaking - any landing that you can walk away from AND use the airplane again is .............. :lol:

I would however sugest he practise " his go-around decision making" :shock:

First landing was best. Should have called it a day then! Second best was the off road one in the rough. Should have camped in the outdoors overnight after that one. Last one ... eureka!! but note that there are two guys in the gyro at this stage. Hearty welcome to senjor instructor. what a helluva undercarriage hey! And my best is the potent frame that takes the tailwheel landings in its stride. Nothing like a flair at 20ft agl. It leads to spectacular fun and games after " landing" or shall we call it " arrival" . Jissems... that guy had plenty guardian angels around that woer woer during his " solo" circuits and landings. :shock:
