I stopped trying to "grease them" (and my disappointment when they did NOT get greased also stopped....). The FCOM says "begin flare at 30 feet." I do that also. I let it settle down and land. In most cases the first retard call is when I go to idle power.
Or…As I have heard a particular trainer say, the main aims are:
- land on the runway
- stop before the end
He's not wrong.
