MW6-S (Modified) Fat Boy Flyer, G-MZDL

Summary:

The pilot, who had only recently begun flying the aircraft, considered that his approach to the unfamiliar runway was slightly fast and that his landing flare judgement may have been affected by the low position of the sun in front of him. He is planning further training with an instructor to increase his proficiency.
