Not true and yet another TK perpetuated fairy-tale. Only bounces I've ever witnessed were guys who thought it would be fun to chop the power at 15+ feet.

Of course the norm is to reduce the power at 10' and in calm wind, low altitude airports, it usually works just fine. High altitude DEN with gusty crosswinds is another story. Sometimes conditions warrant leaving the power on or even adding power at less than 10' and this one size fits all, TK nonsense is counter productive. Last time I checked the good ol' airports we land at ain't static and your landing techniques shouldn't be either.

Landed plenty of times with the power slightly up under the above stated conditions with a smooth, buttery finish every time. I'm sure the TK box surgeons will tell you otherwise as the sim is the absolute last word in technique line flying.
