there's no round-out. Did she flare, or did she three point? Maybe
somehow the camera angle makes it deceptive. Anyone else see it that way?

You are correct for the first landing. First one was a very flat
landing, she knew it too and we did three point it.

Second landing was much better and mains settled first. On that
landing, talked her through my "landing trick" of just before wheels
touch, to add a touch (like 25 rpm) of power, which gave her more
time to effectively flare. The chirp on the second landing was the
nose wheel settling. Mains came down nice and soft.

On looking again, I agree there appeared to be some flare on the second
landing. I suspect the "chirp" was really from the mains. Encourage her
to flare consistently to avoid a damaging nose strike or porpoising with
possible resultant damage. A three-point is a hair away from one of
these scenarios.

Absolutely agree with the above.

Her approach was significantly higher then my approaches at her
stage. She was very hesitant to bring power back to idle on short
final, which I found quite unusual since she had the runway made.

I am not an instructor by any means, so figure if it works for her,
and she lands safely, it's the end result that counts :-)

She is going on her instrument training, so landings will I am sure
improve with time.
