Speed with elevators, ROD with power - Blarrrr....

Get the attitude right. Focus on the numbers, don't let them move on the screen, (they just get bigger) leave the elevators (attitude) alone, and just keep it there on that glideslope with power. Reduce the power over the numbers and flare, then close the throttle and stop the thing landing as long as you can by progressively putting in back pressure. (Not sure this is actually all my idea. Some guy called Jacobson publicised something a bit like this a few years ago - Or have I not done him justice? Anyway, it works and its easy to learn, especially when progressing to something a bit heavier than a 152.)

Anyone wanna broaden this? Maybe good ideas for tailwheels? - or night landings?
