Default how to land

Bomber-52

If you are flying a trainer airplane, take it up and check to make sure the plane will fly level and at midrange speed hands off the controls.

Now pratice landing approaches and each time get a little lower as you come by where you are. Find the altitude which feels confortable to you to start your approach with.

Now find out how many clicks of power it takes to just fly level at a lower power setting.

You may need to adjust elevator a little so that your plane will fly level.

When you have determined how many clicks of throttle it takes to fly level you now know and should have confidence as long as your engine is running that your plane will fly, and kinda slow (remember you can get too slow and your plane will stall if the conditions are right,

on your approach from turn 4 watch your plane and as it just comes past the end of the runway reduce your throttle a few clicks and drive your plane all the way until it stops rolling.

Flair just slightly as your airplane almost touches down, back pressure on the elevator.

Once you touch down reduce your power as needed and drive your plane until it stops rolling.
