From observing a large number pilots landing in either the flat all three wheels at once or slightly favouring the nose wheel attitude maybe we should go back to basics?

First teach proper landing flare, hold off, and correct touch down attitude.

Then if there is a bounce it is usually quite safe to correct the mistake and salvage the landing.

There will of course be instances where the go around will be preferable.

In my experience in flight training to suggest that all or most bounced landings require a go around is depriving the student of the skills to correct a botched touch down.

But of course that is only my thoughts on this subject.
