I challenge my students to learn to taxi without brakes. and I come
down hard if they beat up the airplane with unecessary braking instead
of staying ahead of the airplane. (sometimes even with profanity! Can
you imagine that?)
How about you? If you had to pay for the brakes, tires, and
maintenance, would YOU beat up the airplane?

Let's talk about the other part of flying. I consider a landing 'good'
if I make the planned turnoff without use of breaks or additional
throttle. The numbers on most runways for us GA types just identify
the runway, they should not be the touchdown target.
