try to adjust my landing to where
I need to turn off. It's faster to fly then to taxi, so why not fly
as far as I can.

Though, not quite that good in my spot landings to roll out to my
turn :-))) sans brakes....

And yes, gear intact after landing always makes for a good ending LOL

There is another choice, too.

You can practice getting down to flare height, then adding power to hold that
altitude, and fly down the runway, and then bring power back to finish the
landing.

That is a trick that is useful at OSH, when the controller changes your
touchdown point further down the runway, and he tells you to fly down the
runway. Really, they do that all the time! g
