When I first got my wings I wasn't very happy with my landings so i did a whole flight of touch and gos. Before i was bouncing, bending undercarriage and killing the engine but after that flight I could get it down on the runway every time back wheels then front and I've never gone back. In fact just last weekend in quite windy conditions i got an applause from some of the jet guys after I landed which is quite an honour since I've only been flying for 6 months and it was in my relatively slow Seagull PC-9. As Khodges pointed out you could do an amazing flight doing rolling harriers for 10 mins and screw up the landing and nobody would care, but if you do rolling harriers and other perfect 3D manoeuvres for your entire flight then put your plane down perfectly then you'll get respect!
