This article discusses an interesting landing technique. Does anyone
use it?

The threshold of immediate control
BY ROD MACHADO (From AOPA Pilot, August 2005.)


When I was about to solo, some years ago, I regressed a little and started
bouncing the landings. In a moment of frustration, I snapped back at my
instructor "okay, you land it" when we were about 75 feet from touch down. I
watched him do exactly this technique. I have been doing it this way ever
since. No fancy "threshold of immediate control" name, just the way I land.
