We all have different ways of doing things, including how we approach and land airplanes.

I am most comfortable with the approach and landing when I close the throttle/'s at fifty feet above the touch down point, I became comfortable with using that method when I was flying DC3's off airports on wheel skis both on snow/ice and gravel/sand surfaces.

Works like a charm for me in most airplanes.

Never seen an aircraft either fixed or rotary wing that could not be safely landed without power.

P.S..::

I am not suggesting you should fly a heavy jet that way.
