Thank you for a couple of useful additions to the discussion, Sevenstrokeroll.
I would also point out that in a tailwheel aircraft the landng attitude is easy to see on the ground. Just put it back down like that.........
Another thing. If the aircraft is properly trimmed, by which I mean no load required to hold the attitude required (Did I need to say that? Sadly, yes)
You can feel the lift decreasing in the hold-off, the aircraft wanting to sink to the ground.
Here in France we teach different sorts of landing, too. Soft field comes naturally in the winter, as our 800 metre long 90 metre wide grass gets soggy. We have to use our imagination for the obstacle clearance but the ditch and road at the end is provided by the council. We go elsewhere for tarmac, runways of normal proportions, and slopes.
We have runway lights, no centreline lighting, no papis. If anyone would like to experience landing in a black hole they are welcome to visit.
