Both are tricycle gear. The landing technique I've been taught is to flare about one foot above the runway, hold the nose up and let the main gear settle onto the runway as the speed bleeds off. Of course, being a student, "settle" is somewhat subjective

When I took a familiarization flight in the CTSW, the first thing I asked to see was the stall. The pilot tried a couple times to stall it at idle then increased the rpms by about 500 and got a little break.

I understand that full stall landings are possible with flaps and power, but not for a student at my progress level.
