fly it to the place of landing but touch down at the correct speed, this part is not taught in training these days, just to 500 feet then go around, the last few hundred feet is the important bit, touch down 20 knots too quick and you are in big trouble!! why to pilots come in so bloody fast now? Do they think they will fall out of the sky on approach, or is it the runways are so long it doesnt matter?
