I did find for a low hour student that landing with a slight tailwind was conducive to bouncy landings.

Also I never understood why so many instructors insist you fly those things at 70kts to an inch of the landing surface. I discovered through experimenting on my own that initiating a slow constant rate flare from nice and high meant I get to wash off all that speed and land on the fatter oleos rather smoothly and easily.

Commonly known in the industry as "parachuting" it on P.S. Don't try that in a big jet lest you put the oleos through the wing
