Do you find the landing is the part that is most satisfying in general from a piloting point of view?
Oh yeah! The landing is the most likely maneuver a pilot will do, that people watch, and judge. Further to that, it is more likely to be judged correctly as good or bad by non pilots. Slamming any machine around looks bad to anyone!
If you land well, very likely that you fly well. A number of times, following a ground briefing, my type checkride on a new type (particularly C207, C208. SM1019, Found Busk Hawk and PA-31) I was asked to do a circuit and landing first. When it was a good one, I was told to do another just to confirm it was not beginner's luck). With the second good landing, the checkout was complete, and I was sent solo on type. Apparently, solely my handling in the circuit, and landing in particular, were the basis of judging my piloting skill for the type.
A few times, I have had to roll the ailerons to confirm I was on the ground, 'cause I was not sure - very satisfying!
