The SAAB2000 is the same way - nose down. I flew that for 3 years in Europe and transitioning to the CRJ-200 was easy from the perspective of the 'picture' out the front window.

Still, I like nose-up landings. I did a flaps 20 landing on the -200 once and it was much more like a 'real' airplane!

Curious....do you normally pull the power off at 100' or 50'? I pull it at 100' (unless gusty winds) and find that it floats less than pulling it at 50'. Seems like the guys (and gals) that pull power off at 50' seem to land longer. Not a problem in ATL......but could be a problem in APF or short runways. Just looking for good technique.........
