Ski landings, wheel, or three point?

[Illya Kuryakin]

Damn -- I guess things change - we always landed 2 point from cub to DC3 and everything in between. Much better control -- even taxi except when coming to the final stop the tail ski was in the air, especially in deep snow and slush conditions.

Yup, same here and for many thousands of hours.

But apparently we were taught wrong and did it wrong.

Can't believe I'm still alive! You mean I should have been landing the old ski Dak 3 point?

The answer to this question is "depends".

Depends on the location
Depends on the plane
Depends on how hard the snow is
Depends on how rough the snow is
Depends on if you're landing in your old tracks, or on new snow
Depends on the load
Depends on how you were trained
Depends on whether you have installed a tail-ski or not
Depends on the visibility and wind

It's a good thing there are a couple of ways to choose from. Be nice if there was three.
Depends. Like everything.

Yes, land on a lake and the skis break through, you are definitely going to need those depends !
