The FCTM contains only one landing technique that is not stated above.

Check, close, hold.

Reduce rate of descent by pitching up slightly,simultaneously reduce thrust slowly so that it reaches the idle stop at touchdown. As the thrust reduces the nose will want to drop so you increase back pressure to HOLD the landing attitude.

You should maintain awareness of the descent rate and vary the thrust reduction accordingly. Be very careful however, you should avoid landing with thrust on, as doing so may inhibit the auto speed brake and perhaps lead to a bounce.
