One of the issues not addressed is the amount of appalling flat landings anyone can witness with students/PPLs landing the PA28 series. Partly, I blame this on the absolute insistence of the use of full flap during training, whatever! One problem with the PA28 is the limit in pitch control, at below landing speeds, from the stabilator.
Rubbish, the Pa28 has no problem with this if you use correct technique, there is a thread elsewhere asking about when to reduce power on the Pa28 on landing and if you reduce after roundout there is plenty of elevator authority to achieve a good nose high landing.
