roll-on vs flare landing
FCeng84,
So it would seem that, in long airplanes (in particular), the empirical approach to saving some (not all) bad landings when the rate of descent gets away from you has some merit, ie that there is a point when continuing to flare (at a high rate) may make it worse, and "rolling it on" short of nosewheel contact may be a better option. Not because the typical "rotating the main gear into the ground" is true, but mostly because the downward translation occurs before any increase in wing lift can compensate - true?
