GrassStripFlyBoy Report post Posted February 13 I've shared this with a couple people outside of the forum, and going through pic's on phone I noticed this and thought it was worth tossing out to the group. I placed a small piece of tape under the windshield for a reference mark in nose pointing dead straight down the runway. Depending upon CT model, some people reference a screw on panel, or apply tape on panel / mushroom. Making the mark as far out front allows for more precise "gun sight". Now that my hours have climbed and have the visual cues more natural, I rarely look at this. But when the wind is howling and landing in a nasty crabbed cross wind, it's nice to see that mark and know I'm aiming down the runway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Meade Report post Posted February 14 A long known tip that helps some start out. I found it distracting but some find it useful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
okent Report post Posted February 14 My first CT had a black sharpie dot on the windscreen. Previous owner must have thought that was a good idea. I like the tape idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kinoons Report post Posted February 14 The CTSW I rent has a 3-4” piece of back tape on the windscreen. I feel it helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AGLyme Report post Posted February 14 My red tape is on the top of the dashboard. I would have liked D’s solution better when starting out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
