I came across this expression (in connection with returning an a/c to the ground, not part of your house!) and have always wondered what it meant. Was it derogatory or complimentary?

Of course there is also the “Wing Commander’s Landing” – one which bounces halfway across the airfield. So called as only a Wing Commander could get away with such a poor show!

Would that be best described as a “Straight in approach” or
a “Low approach and go around” ?

Heh. Just make sure it’s not downwind…

Thanks – in Stirlings that was probably a good idea on landing, an even better one on takeoff 😮

It’s vaguely derogatory, meaning to err on the side of caution.
