David,

I took the time over the week end to have a good look at your app and I was completely blown away by the very professional way in which you have approached it and the excellent content. I have heard people mention the flare often over the years and I must admit I have never really taken the time to have a good look at it. You have certainly put a great deal of effort into the project and I’m sure it will be of immense benefit to pilots of all experience levels. The points you have made are valid and the industry is well overdue for such a breath of fresh air! I really enjoyed working through the app and I also took the time to take my Piper Pacer for a few circuits to try it out. I must admit I was impressed at just how seamlessly it fits into the approach and landing. The little Pacer can be a bit of a challenge when it comes to landing as it has become known as a tail-wheel with attitude. However, your techniques fit comfortably into the planning of the approach and landing. Thank you very much for the opportunity to appreciate and apply your excellent technique.

All the best with your venture,

Cheers

Bob

App Store (USA) Review – “A better way to land: This App is one of the best tools any pilot could have in their flight bag. I highly recommend it.” – MacFlyer1

Ask any student pilot, or experienced pilot what the most difficult phase of their pilot training was, and universally the answer will be “landings.” Why is that? As in all things aviation, much of what is taught is based on how your instructor was taught.

So much of learning how to land was based on the Goldilocks method of teaching. “You flared too high,” “you flared too low”, “you flared just right.” It was the trial-and-error approach; eventually you “got it!” Could there possibly be a better way? The Jacobson Flare is that “better way.”

Instead of guessing at altitude, and having to correct that “estimate” for wide, narrow, or sloping runways, wouldn’t you rather use a method that results in consistently good landings to any runway or field?

The traditional method that uses power to correct for altitude, and pitch for airspeed frequently results in an erratic flight path.

Instead, maintaining the correct “sight picture,” following the optimum flight path, recognizing the correct “flare point” and properly transitioning from the approach to the landing aim point results in easier to teach, easier to learn, and repeatably good landings.

Whether you fly cloth covered, light, or heavy metal airplanes, Capt Jacobson has created a superb App, to help you master landings. With videos from a variety of cockpits, and easy to follow instructions, this App is one of the best tools any pilot could have in their flight bag. I highly recommend it.
