Before the flare there can be differences flying the approach. Partly depends on how you have been taught to fly. When I was initially learning on light aircraft the technique I was taught was pitch controls speed and power controls rate of descent. Sharing simulator sessions with airline pilots they all do it the other way - as do nearly all flying schools training commercial pilopts.

However it is a very long time since I did my PPL so the way I was taught may not be used at all now. Anyone care to comment on this?
