The Airbus FCTM teaches the best way. Trust it. And be happy with a plop into the touchdown zone on the centre line with nothing broken or out of limits.
I was cautioned by trainers during LT not to adapt the ‘aircraft carrier’ technique you’ll see from line captains-a last minute dramatic snatch, it’s always quite impressive to witness it but there’s so little room for error it’s also pretty uncomfortable
