My second ever "offsite" landing during training had power lines running (legally) over the threshold (or so it seemed to this noob). I pulled the best landing ever in my young career so far, deeper than normal approach (plenty of rwy), early flare and slower flare than normal, and the wheels just greased themselves onto the tarmac.
Then I went back to my regular drome and tried the same thing again and again (minus the deep approach), and most of my landings were greasers.
Thinking about this and experimenting a bit more with it, I came up with the term 'standing on your ground effect' which was easily identifiable in calm weather. Essentially you begin the flare high, about 20-25ft, you begin pulling the nose up very slowly at first and you feel yourself 'standing' on your ground effect as you begin sinking, you continue pulling the nose up in a very smooth uninterrupted manner keeping the sink rate steady. If you get it right the ground effect will put you on ground gently.
Technique only worked well in calm conditions, no crosswind with medium load and low density altitude, even seen it done in a 744.
...and if you ever move onto flying helicopters you will find this technique helpful as well
