So what's new? Many years ago on my ATCO cadet 'How to fly a Trident in 2 weeks' Course, I was taught that you don't (sorry didn't) flare a Trident as such, but you did check back on the controls because as the wing came into ground effect, there was a pitch down moment which you had to couteract. Other than that, you simply flew it on, and you could select reverse thrust before touchdown if necessary.
