How do you stop Porpoising on landing?

The key to stopping a bounce is flying a stabilized approach, all the way to the ground. If you come in too fast, bleed off airspeed during your flare, or go-around. And if you have a high descent rate just above the runway, go-around.

What causes Porpoising on landing?

Porpoising can be caused by misjudging where the ground is, improper use of trim, forcing the aircraft onto the runway, or letting the nose drop prematurely. When this happens, the aircraft will float as you flare due to greater-than-normal lift. The worst thing you can do at this point is push the nose down.

What is the difference between stop and go and full stop taxi back landings?

How do you recover from a balloon landing?

In many cases, a slight balloon can be recovered by gently relaxing back pressure on the yoke/stick while still maintaining a nose-high pitch attitude, descending into a second flare, and touching down. You may have to use a slight amount of power to cushion the landing.

Do night landings have to be full stop?
