Like others says it will come and go. You'll have a whole trip of greasers and another where you make sure everyone knows they have arrived. On a normal day with regular winglets I start reducing at 30 and idle at 20. The EWTs it's 40 and idle by 30. Then you'll switch and forget and either prang it on or float for days. Then you see the 3000 footers coming up and reduce back pressure and before you know it, you're on the ground. Just try not to overthink it. That's when I tend to really put it in. You seem like you're on the right path. It comes in waves. As long as your on speed, on center line, it's a great landing. Smoothness is just icing on the cake. As you know, there will be times where you will intentionally put it down hard (gusty, heavy rain, snow, ice, etc). Have fun with it!
