Just a quick report back.

Had three short flights with instructor F(5). All three landings were very good and the ground rolls interesting, and long, as the wheel brake was not functioning. My last landing on 16R was an absolute greaser. Put her down just in the correct spot and flared perfectly. Even the instructor was impressed. Three flights, 24 minutes at 148,20 ZAR.

I'm starting to learn how to judge when to pull back on the stick during the landing, rather well now. The looking ahead at the horizon method doesn't work for me, I look down, straight at the ground, and when it gets too close I pull back.
