The flare. or roundout, some calls it. Aim at the ground but don't bend the aircraft! Taildraggers vs nosewheel, landing on water, managing microlights...
This critical maneuver need practice, lots of practice. It is a LOT easier to manage now they have stuck the little wheel on the front instead of the back!
So Piper and Cessna and most airliners could then install, instead of a stick attached to ailerons and elevator, a WHEEL - or yoke - so the nervous pilot could imagine it was as simple as driving a car, and felt more at ease.
The more landings the better, so the cheapest way to become proficient is to learn at a gliding club with winch launches costing as little as £8 each. I couldn't even imagine how many landings I have carried out over the past 38 years....and yet in my dear old Supercub taildragger, still got it wrong on my very last power flight, when delivering it over to White Waltham. In front of the entire congregation there, with the WW CFI sitting in the back seat, something went wrong with the flare, or whatever, and it BOUNCED.
As I learned on gliders, going around is not an option in my kinetic memory, so I just kept things more or less level and waited until GOFER settled down in a reasonable fashion. The CFI in the back seat refrained from comment.
The critics sitting round in the sunshine smiled knowingly. How embarassing.
All those landings and still bounced the last one!
