On the ground they offer clearance over many fences. By incorporating more dihedral, the longitudinal stability can be increased to match that exhibited by the high wingers. Why the success of high wings? By design they provide both shade in the sun and an “umbrella” in the rain for passengers during boarding or debarking.

Head on view of the Northrop X-4 Bantam (NASA) The X-4 was a research aircraft developed by the Northrop Corporation to test the stability of semi-tailless wing designs at transonic speeds in excess of Mach 0.9. For better maintenance access, the small tail of the aircraft could be removed to work on or remove the engines.

Consider Obstacle Clearance for a Stabilized Approach Are there any obstacles in the flight path leading up to your short-field landing? Braking too hard and fast can do more harm than good. Just as you’ll need to find a happy medium with your speed, you’ll also need to do so when braking.

When flying IFR, ATC is working with you for the entire flight, from the clearance before you depart or slightly after you takeoff and pickup up a clearance in the air until you land, get close enough to your destination to cancel your IFR, or choose to cancel at some intermediate point. There are lots of benefits to doing this.

Constant manipulation of attitude and power while chasing errant airspeed are signs that a CFI needs to step in to stabilize things. Fixating on the runway numbers can lead to flying through treetops during the approach. Sometimes a nudging word is sufficient, but in other cases an adjustment of controls is required.
