Am I worried about nothing!

...That leads to another skill - spot landing so you reach the first taxiway at good rolling speed, but slow enough not to put any strain on the gear in the turn.

...

Several of the pilots doing formation training have commented that learning the "pitch and recover" landing technique has made them much more confident about being able to put the aircraft down on a given spot in the event of an out-landing and there being only a small area available.

It is a different skill to judge glide slope accurately through a descending turn. One cannot afford to float down the runway when successive aircraft are landing at 5 second intervals.

Ideally, you know where you are going to exit the runway, before you touchdown. Some will hit the brakes and not make the turnoff and have to put power on to taxi to the next one. Nev
