I wouldn't fret, the skill will come, though you'll always have the occasion where you make a less than ideal one. The very worse landing I've ever experienced (and I include my own) was as a pax on a QANTAS 747 landing in ideal weather conditions. Captain having a bad day, or an inexperienced driver in the right? Who knows, but just shows the truth in the following,

A good landing is mostly luck; two in a row is all luck; three in a row is prevarication.

The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and a good bowel movement. The night carrier landing is one of the few opportunities in life to experience all three at the same time.
