Hmm
I'm heading towards 400 hours. The Lord Himself holds the log for the how many landings I've survived. I can count the good ones on one hand.
My multi-thousand hour instructor simply drove the plane at the threshold, with 1300 revs set and nailed it. And this was a right floater of a trainer plane too. I guess that the key was the thousands of hours.
For me, the priority is the threshold, not the cycling of the throttle. A gentle touchdown is a bonus.
