I'd never use "flat" to describe it, it lands nose-up, just lower than a C172 (more like a seminole). If I say "flat", then people start doing dangerous 3-pt landings, bouncing, not arresting descent rate, "freezing up" during roundout, etc. That's why there's always a "flare". It's a blast to land and pretty easy, but still requires pilot intervention
