Landing requires generally less than 100 feet.

This only requires that you complete the initial training, accumulate 25 hours of solo flight time and then get back with an advanced flight instructor (AFI) for an additional 8 to 10 hours of training.  You must then pass two written exams and a check ride to qualify as a BFI. Once you are a qualified BFI, you may fly and train other people. http://web73.elitedesignsltd.com/bthis-is-a-two-seat-vehicle_-can-i-take-anyone-i-want-to-fly-with-me-/b Tue, 20 Dec 2005 19:35:49 -0600
