Can you land to a spot within 100' of the designated spot without

It appears that Pilot Proficiency has gone down the tubes in favor of
technology.


Where is this coming from? Is this what this group has degraded to?
All we get is spam, MX, and posts about hypothetical situations. Am I
the only one here still flying a real airplane?

Probably from watching the activities at a typical GA airport with a
runway that is much less than 10,000 feet and seeing people float halfway
down the runway then come to a screeching halt to avoid running off the
end.

I see it happening all the time.
