You do need to keep in mind that you don't do a "normal" three point landin= Thanks Brian, good points. When I initially was learning to land we used the exact procedure you described. We called it a modified 3 ptr it was necessary to avoid bouncing.Later in my training However I became able to do full three pointers,( my instructor was impressed with my ability to land even better than himself) so may be its just me. I prefer the full 3 ptr; I do not have to "push the stick forward "; I land at a slower speed; and when I touch down the tenancy to bounce is all but eliminated. but I do fly in ground effect a little more but my kr still has positive controll in these floats and it cuts my roll-out way down, even more so than the modified Three point landings.
