Totally agree Markkal. Taking off and landing either too fast or too slow is not good practice! To return to the original point;- the idea that - on smooth tarmac - raising the nose wheel is productive is complete bollocks. In fact, its counter-productive. The ground roll is extended and directional control reduced. These aren't my opinions, they're observable facts.
Yes I totally agree with you, in normal operations, comply with the POH
In special operations, short grass strips and mountain flying other techniques apply, but rely on expert instructors, to train and practice.
