You line the tip up with the rough just before the runway, if the tip moves up the runway you need more power, if moves to.tbe 26 taxiway you need less power. At the moment you know you cannot hit the tree you convert to a glide approach, usually by lower the nose to drop into the pocket behind the wood, start to flair over previously mentioned rough, touch down in first 20 metres of 03

Who would be liable, the tree owner for allowing it to obstruct an airfield approach?

Someone at Popham needs to do a bit of polite begging/persuading and asking of the owner of the said tree if this can be done.
