How do people learn to land an aircraft properly when they have to pay for every landing?
In many cases not very well. It is a safety concern and in the last 10 years I have watched the standard of circuits drop. Under the old National GFT people were failed if they didn't get it right. Now at the end of a 2.5 hour JAA Skill Test they are half dead, so you can't expect too much, and if they are failed more than once, it becomes a very expensive resit, consequently many examiners give the candidate the benefit of the doubt. The JAA has effectively reduced standards over 10 years.
