Question

Trevor Thom: "A normal landing is similar to a power-off stall, with touch-down just prior to the moment of stall"

I'm sure that kabz was not suggesting stalling out above the runway. He was talking about the art of persuading the aircraft to stop flying just as you reach the ground in a suitable attitude (in other words, landing).

Ye olde aviation joke: there are 3 rules for perfect landings, only, no-one knows what they are (copyright O Lielenthal 1887)
