Excellent description of how to land!!

Been teaching this way for years. Put a traffic cone a number of feet ahead of the airplane on the left side. Push the tail of the 152 down (carefully) with the student in the left seat. Engine NOT running. Tell them this is where you should be looking when you flare. Just like when you drive. You are unaware that you are looking at the edge of the road at the point far enough ahead that it appears not to move toward you. Obviously that point is moving forward at the same speed you are but it gets them looking in the right place.

I confess I didn’t watch the whole video. Rod does a nice job. I always remember something he wrote about IFR flying:

”What are the two most important things on this flight? The next two things.”
