Very good lesson, Lary, on the use of the best let me down easy control: the throttle. The problem with the average pilot at the airport is that they never get slow enough with elevator pitch to bring the throttle into active play. If we are going so fast we have to close the throttle we force the elevator to do both airspeed control, which it does well, and rate of descent control, which it does very poorly. If we have to close the throttle before touchdown, we were going too fast. Slow, managed elevator pitch, and soft, managed throttle to touchdown, does the trick with any airplane. Amount of each depends on aircraft weight, wing quality and placement, full flaps, slats, amount of air being pulled, and such. Good job.
