Can't get landings

Where are you looking as you're flaring? Try to look further down the runway. I had a few students that was helped by that.

Thanks for all the tips. I am not thinking of quitting, I have way to much money and time into quit. I fly tomorrow and will try some of these tips.

Thanks again!

Hello all,

I am a 44 year old student pilot with 24 hours, I can't seem to get landings. My CFI tells me my pattern work and approach are fine but I am losing it when I cross the numbers. I either flare to early or to late and bounce or land very hard. We have spent the last two lessons on nothing but take-offs and landings. My CFI has been great and very patient. I come to each lesson prepared except for one a few weeks back, due to a death in my immediate family my head was not into the lesson. Though my instructor keeps encouraging me and keeps it positive. I have not gone up solo yet and starting to think I never will. As a CFI, would you ever tell a student that they might need to reconsider getting a pilot certificate?

Your comments are appreciated

Thanks

I've got 2000TT and I still screw my landings up sometimes.
