With all the automation, doing consistantly smooth landings within correct distance is the only seat of the pants skill left. However executing safe landings should not be a problem. If a pilot cannot do acceptable landing in flap3 he will not be doing good landings in flap full either. I suggested before pilots can be explained the technique and introduced to flap3 in the SIM. Pilot who is apprehensive of normal flap3 landing what will be his mental state landing in direct law with failures and conf3? to get acceptable landing all you have to do is flare and close the thrust. From ROD of 750ft/mt to appx.350ft a mt. which is even acceptable overweight landing. Full is preferred only from landing distance point.
