With respect, if you are on the ILS and still need IAS and engine parameters as you become visual you are flying the ILS wrong!
I would not expect any correction to the attitude or power between 200' and the flare, provided you have been stable on the ILS for the last four miles, and if you haven't you should be going around anyway.
Regarding the rest of this thread, there seems to me to be a missing element. You can control the nature of the landing very largely with speed. I fly an Aztec, mostly out of long paved runways. I adopt an approach speed which gives me a short but noticeable flare, during which I can ensure that the mains touch down gently, I can hold the nose up for aerodynamic braking, then lower it and be at taxi speed for a convenient turn off.
However, I sometimes operate into a 470m strip, which is no joke in an Aztec in anybody's money. I arrive there a full five knots slower, haul back on the stick just before...well just before where the numbers would be if there were any...the mains thump down, I pull on the stick but the nose goes down almost immediately, I brake and stop in 370m. This performance is not going to get any awards for finesse, is not nice for inexperienced pax and probably doesn't increase the life expectancy of the airframe. But it gets the job done.
So there is an element of horses for courses on the landing speed. But this comes with experience and especially experience on type...I probably have 1500 hours on Aztecs with 1200 on my particular aircraft, I wouldn't mess the same way with an aircraft I am new to.
So I do agree that people should continue to learn how to fly after they leave their instructors...how many of us drive like BSM or our dads taught us? 2nd gear on roundabouts? 29mph?
