It doesn't take long to figure out you need really long runways if you

really want to have fun with a 172 driver in the right seat really hold
if off with a little power until you touch down with the tail skid
first. They NEVER will have been that nose high in the flare.
I'll bet you find this true as well: watching a Skyhawk make an
approach to a fairly short runway and telling yourself he'll NEVER get
it down in time from there. But he does, without even using a slip.
Know thy airplane, huh?
