Default Is every touchdown a stall?

What kind of airplane?


Baron 58 or A36. Previously I had come in at idle, but I found that
sometimes I stalled too early (whence the gear collapse previously
mentioned, or sometimes worse).

With small aircraft you usually pull throttle to
idle during the entire final, and you only pull it up in case something
goes wrong. With big jets it's probably different.


In large aircraft in the sim I don't set throttles to idle until I'm a
few feet above the ground.
