Believe it or not, landing is different to hitting a target.
Not the same.
A concept of alternate ideas.
Get it?

It's blindingly obvious that if you're going so slow as to have a pitch angle that lets the aeroplane run out of either wing or airspeed then you're not going to hit the target.
But with 400kts+ is not exactly a problem is it?

It's really simple concept that a heap of people here have explained different ways.
