Good point about landings, it's almost like instead of deliberately landing it, you merely set the conditions in which the plane will land i.e. throttled back, flared, gently settling on the runway.

My frequent mistake in the early hours was to make a nice smooth touchdown on the main wheels but be so pleased that I would then forget to continue with back control pressure and the nosewheel would plonk down ungracefully!
