Look at the end of the runway, barring a last minute high sink rate and after observing the correct response to the flare, take the power off and touch down at idle thrust.


Elementary stuff you would think but I see pilots leaving power on all the time in an attempt to 'grease it on'


They don't realize they are just 'powering it into the ground' and using up a lot of runway in the process.
