Some landings my ass tells me to start pulling at 50 ft and leave the thrust in until I feel the rate of descent has been broken, even until touch down. Other days when the LW is 48 tonnes and that 10 kts TW magically disappears at 100 ft I merely give it a nudge at 10 ft.

The FCTM works well in the perfect world (and in the sim), but otherwise it's a seat of the pants maneuver.

With that said, I trust you all here to be able to land a 737 whether you are book type or not.
