Plopping does not count except for back country strips where it is needed..
Nor does the technique of dropping the Johnson Bar to the floor count..
Smooth roll on landings please..
Although I must admit sometimes in the Pawnee the 3 pointers plop on before
I expect it.
That dang bird just hates a 3 knot tail wind and a 3 point landing
combination.

I can't say this over on the student group of course :-)))))))

........but for pilots who are comfortable flying behind the power
curve and can walk that fine line keeping the airplane out of coffin
corner (the power curve coffin corner NOT the altitude coffin
corner :-) in a powered aircraft, a good pilot can plop down many
light airplanes very close to the parameters available to a glider
using spoilers.
