An interesting exercise but, it's just that. You can do a lot of things in the simulator but whether you can replicate the scenario (and your performance)
in the real Aircraft day after day, month after month, year after year in all kinds of weather / gross weight /cg /personal fatigue levels is doubtful.


If 7.5 degrees pitch up is optimal for landing, fine, will you always 'nail' that ?the answer is no.


The same applys for a 'reasonable landing' this is not something you can guarantee, I have seen some rather 'unreasonable' arrivals with some of mine certainly included.


Fortunately none of these have been on a very unforgiving type, except for one but it was built like a brick sh**house.
