One mistake a lot of people make is setting the pitch too high in the flare, especially when trying to slow a high descent rate, that just drives the mains into the ground. Oh well...good luck!
Man, that couldnt be more true, the 900 can be tricky from what I've seen. I just finished SIMs last weeks and for the most part my landings were good. But, on my LOFT flight for some unknown reason, at the 50ft callout I instantly went to idle thrust.........SLAM! I think I was a little soar after that one. O, and I have IOE starting this Tuesday, I certainly will bring the power out much slower at that 50ft call........
