We have six pages of discussion on the subject of landing and so much different advice on how to accomplish a good landing that it is becoming impossible to know what to believe.

What happened to the old fashioned method of going to a good flight school and finding a good instructor, learn to fly in an environment that is designed for learning.

I have two last comments here.

If you want to be comfortable in making consistent good safe landings looking way ahead at the far end of the runway during the hold off portion of the landing will guarantee you will not be able to judge how high the wheels are above the runway, resulting in waiting for some sort of an arrival, rather than a landing.

Thinking a stabilized approach will result in a good landing only works if nothing destabilizes the approach just prior to the landing.....like turbulence and or quickly shifting wind direction and strength.
