Light aircraft vs heavy aircraft flare

Hello,

I was wondering when you flare a heavy loaded aircraft vs a lighter loaded, there is difference with the flare ?
For a lighter aircraft you should flare later and retard power later ? Or is there just no difference ?

Thanks

Yes there is a difference, heavier aircraft has more inertia, so a little more inputs required, but, don't get me wrong, the difference is very small, don't forget that at lighter weight you're slower, so there is a "natural" compensation for the condition.
