It is generally good practice to contact the ground at the minimum possible safe speed consistent with existing conditions.

Normally, the best technique for short and slow landings is to use full flap and enough power to maintain the desired airspeed and approach flight path.

Reduce the speed during the flareout and contact the ground close to the stalling speed.

After ground contact hold the nose wheel off as long as possible.

As the airplane slows down, gently lower the nose and apply the brakes.

Braking is most effective when flaps are raised and back pressure is applied to the control wheel, putting most of the aircraft weight on the main wheels.

In high wind conditions, particularly in strong crosswinds, it may be desirable to approach the ground at higher than normal speeds with partial or no flaps.
