kgwilson Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 The lighter the aircraft the more you need to fly it to the ground for landing. I flew Cessnas for years and yes landing is pretty easy. Approach at the right speed, attitude and altitude, level off, let it settle and it lands. A lot more inertia than in a RA aircraft. Boring almost. But the controls are heavy, seating is like driving a bus & the panel too tall. My Sierra is super responsive, controls as light as a feather, sports car seating position & I can see everything easily. It is harder to land but far more exciting. In my GA days I much preferred the Archer as a touring aircraft and landing in crosswinds. Low wing is always better there IMO. Takeoff & landing is the best part of most flights.
