Quite right, just as becoming airborne stresses the horizontal mainplain and tailplane, and their attachment bolts, so should also be kept to a minimum.
Ah, but Genghis, if the aircraft does not become airborne, then the landing gear attaching bolts are subject to stresses from bearing the weight of the aircraft....
But back to the topic... Today in the Caravan, I got a big thermal while turning final = high approach. With the engine at idle, and some slip, I had to add a smidge of power before I flared.... Slipping is extra draggy in the Caravan, 'cause you get a bit of spoiler too!
