Dim the hud and get all that crap out of your face so you can actually see the runway. It has to be down but there’s nothing saying what the brightness needs to be. If your shooting down to minimums in a blizzard that’s obviously a different story but CAVU VFR on a 2.5 mile dry runway and you want to learn to fly it, start there. Tell the other guy what you’re doing, I never had a problem with somebody learning the plane by actually flying it without the hud. And flare it.. The 190 approaches more nose high than most aircraft naturally when flaps 5 (98% of your landings) with no ice/gust/etc additives..about 4-5 up and 55% N1 will hold a stable approach at Vapp. Guys new to the plane just approach and plow it into the ground because the sight picture out the window is already high and they don’t flare, you need more. My best landings are about 9 deg. up when the mains hit, the plane will literally walk on when you get used to it. Just be careful on a wet runway doing that, you can walk it on so smoothly the plane isn’t sure it’s on the ground and the ground spoilers will hesitate and the reversers won’t open, she’ll swerve pretty good on you without the boards holding it down.

Enjoy flying it while you can, it’s not what everybody talks $hit about and likely the last jet you will actually hands on fly if you stay here. I enjoy stick and rudder flying, anybody can fly an Airbus once you learn what “Pierre” is going to do when you push a button. I miss the 190 and shutting all that off and physically flying an airplane and not pointing it somewhere.
