Ask any sailor.
If you are moving and an object remain on a fixed bearing and nothing
changes YOU WILL HIT IT.
Same with the non moving spot on your windshield. If you do nothing (and
don`t flare) that is where you will meet the ground.

That spot that doesn't move should be in the same place assuming the
weight, speed, is close and the flap position is the same. So why not put a
mark on the windscreen showing where you will be landing???
Would that work?

OK very funny.
Our Kolbs have a very wide field of view. When flying GA planes I could
picture a few inches or so above the dash and get close to where we were
going to land but we really don't have nor do we want that obstruction. But
a mark might be useful.

Rick,
When I started flying sailplanes, I had difficulty finding the spot. I did
not know where to look. Part of the problem was that I was used to flying
in tractor aircraft with high instrument panels that did not let you look
down over the nose. With the low instrument panels and forward reaching
canopy on the sailplane, one had very good forward and downward view over
the nose. It took a while to find the spot relative to the top of the low
instrument panel or forward edge of the canopy. I found I was spending too
much time finding the spot. I solved the problem by doing what you suggest.
I placed a horizontal strip of black electricians tape forward on the
inside of the canopy just below where I thought the spot would appear. I
flew this way for several months, and then I found I didn't need it any
more.
It just takes some self training and practice. When I first started flying
the FireFly to out lying airports, I would cruise at 2,500 to 3,000 feet
agl. I could not find the airports. There was too much too look at. But
the gps said, the airport was there. I would start to circle at altitude
until I could find it. I discovered I was too close when I started to look
for the airports. I was looking beyond them. Later on, I had little trouble
seeing them from miles out.

No, because it will vary (quite significantly) depending on the wind.

how do you adjust the tape for differing winds. 5, 10 mph..12 or
14????. now is that straight down the runway,,, cross wind from the
left or the right.. did anyone say quartering tail wind, by the
time we get done the piece of tape will be a sheet of paper with peep
holes punched through out it each marked with a different wind
configuration, glide speed, wing loading. we might as well be flying
some tractor we cant see out of. OR you could just carry a flat rock in
your shirt pocket,,,,,, open the door and toss it out and follow it
down. just make sure it is a brightly colored rock so you can see it
all the way to the ground. with too much tape on the window you may
just for get to fly the plane,,, as you try and remember what each mark
on the tape is for. the reality of the situation is,,,, by the time
you figure out where to put the tape, you should not need it any more.

Subject: | Re: The spot that doesn't move |
You guys aren't flying enough. Talk about a pain in the...
I flew my VW powered MKIIIC out of a 1400 ft (about 900 usable) one way
strip for fifteen years. I have landed in from 20 MPH head wind to 20 MPH
tail wind. When flying a bunch I could pick out the touch down point within
a few seconds after turning final. There were a few times when tired or
not focused I misjudged and things got tense. This with a strip that didn't
allow me a go around if I waited too long.
With a line horizontal line drawn across the wind screen indicating the
normal touch down point I would have been able to much more quickly adjust
to the conditions. If the threshold of my strip is moving above
the reference line then add power. If it is moving under cut power more,
add flaps and or go around before it is too late.
I'm currently flying out a 3200' GA strip so my short field landing skills
aren't as good as they were. If I lost power and had to land in a small
clearing in the woods a horizontal reference line on my wind screen might
be a life saver.
My point was and still is in a emergency hope you have a plan and may be a
reference line to get to a safe landing point. If I'm flying under 3000 AGL
I'm not likely going to grab a calculator and GPS to find a landing site.
Do as you wish.
As all ways worth what you paid for it.
