Default Full Stall Landing?

In my opinion the use of the term "Full Stall Landing" is a misnomer. At
least for me the term "Extreme Slow Flight Landing" would be better. I
don't put the wings into a full stall before touch down when I land as
slow as possible. I put the airplane on the edge of the stall and fly it
to the ground. I also use feel of the airplane more that airspeed.

This works for me. Maybe others attempt and get a full stall before
touchdown.

Any comments?

Depends on the airplane and the situation. Some aircraft do full stall
landings very well, others don't. Sometimes the way you have the aircraft
loaded makes a difference. Depending on your level of proficiency, you may
be able to land shorter using one technique vs the other.

Bottom line... It depends.
