Landing a Cassna 182 isn't that difficultFinal approach speed about 60-65 knots (depends on the wind, rain etc) with Flaps 30, which
will result
in an almost 0 degrees nose-up angle... if you need to push the nose down you are actually too fast or too high.
~10 feet above the runway start to flare slightly, don't pull the nose up to 10 degrees as you are told by the FS-lessons.. it's rubbish and
results
in a hard landing due to too low speed and a stall... 3 or 4 degrees are really enough and if you're fast enough (55-60 knots) you will touch
down
gently
I fly Robin 400 and C172s in real and I was told by my teachers: It's always better to add 3 knots to the "normal" Vref and flare
10 meters longer
than chrashing into ground due to too low speed.
