TOP-LANDING SKILLS
In the second part of Kinga Masztalerz's Top-Landing Masterclass she covers planning; approach; why speed gives us control; and reading the wind, progression and mistakes. We have had loads of positive feedback from Kinga's masterclass – it is really one to make time to watch, especially if you are getting ready to get back into flying after a winter's layoff. Magazine subscribers can check it all out at the link.
