Well that and flying at 60 knots.
When the airbus is at 30 feet it noses down to force the pilot to flare. The flare in the 172 is at like 5 feet. So the sight picture is way different. You feel like you’re way too low, too slow, and it’s slightly panic inducing.
Happened to me my first time back in light GA planes in a few years, but it was on takeoff.
Me: "Passing 1,000."
CFI: "Ahh...That's 100."
Me: *Mother of God what am I doing?*
