Too many variables - look out the window and enjoy your flight, you willUnfortuneately, there are some pilots who can't even get that right. I recall someone talking about a pilot who pranged an aircraft on outlanding by digging the wingtip in on the turn on to final. His excuse was that the altimeter said he was at 800ft.
know when the ground is too close :)
These details might not be dead accurate, but there are list members who know about this event and can probably set it right.
We had a member a couple of decades ago, who gave gliding away, because he just could not judge heights. He was, and still is, a neurologist.
So, it goes to show that our brains just do not all work the same. (My wife could go on at length about the way my brain works!!)
