My problem is I end up "bouncing" in the flare. I usually come in a
little too hot in the 172SP I fly, and I've never been able to really
master the flare in that thing. It's a very sensitive beast... just a
little too much elevator and it wants to climb like nobody's business,
instead of settle nicely into a flare. A touch of power settles things
out though when that happens, and I usually grease it on in, albeit
several hundred feet down the runway. Fortunately I don't have to land
on short runways much.
