Proper response to a high rate of descent close to the ground is a significant increase
in thrust to stop the unplanned sink rate, if in doubt go around being careful with the pitch until well clear of the runway.


Raising the nose in this situation is the wrong response in any aircraft, will often lead
to a hard landing and quite possibly a tail strike.
