All the time... Instruct in gliders.. for me the touch down point is ON the
number.. for my students I have them use the first centerline stripe. When
towing, PA-25.. Down and stopped in the first 700ft of runway. We have about
600-700ft of gravel under run to the threshold with no obstructions within
1000ft of the threshold.

When I took my Commercial Multi check ride, the DPE challenged me to
complete the Single Engine approach and touch within the "Captains Bars" to
complete both the SE approach and the accuracy landing portion of the PTS.
He did tell me the SE approach was critical and the bonus was saving another
pattern for the accuracy landing. If the accuracy did not work out. I would
have another pattern to complete the accuracy landing.

When it all came together and I touched in the 1st 3rd of the Captains
Bars.. he mumbled under his breath about "damm glider pilots".

Can you land to a spot within 100' of the designated spot without
power? If not you should do some serious practice or get some good
training until you can. What happened to the old time spot landing
contests that were taking place regularly on weekends?
It appears that Pilot Proficiency has gone down the tubes in favor of
technology.
