I could write a volume on the art of landing...but

someone already has. Dear Original Poster...go out and BUY, yes BUY a book called: Stick and Rudder by Wolfgang Langweische.

He discusses fully the types of landing...the most amazing is the ''stall down' landing, starting your flare prior to the airport fence.

It is all about energy management...you would like to touchdown with no energy...but you must have some for unexpected things in flying.

Read the book...memorize the book...teach the techniques to others. The only thing is the author uses a term for elevators that has fallen out of favor, the term is : flippers....you see he doesn't want you to think that elevators elevate...read it and enjoy it.
