The RAF flying scholarship teach "point and power" for the final approach. Once levelled ob final point the nose so that the threshold is about 1/3 up the windscreen, and adjust your attitude to keep it there. Whatever happens to be in that position is where the a/c will land. As you can't now use attitude to control airspeed, you use the power.

This method is taught, as when you move onto bigger/faster a/c, it is the only way that will work.
