Yep, this is pretty fundamental.
Whether you land with A/P or not, you MUST know your speeds - critically final approach speed and stall speed. For us smaller guys, you want to get to ideally get to stall speed inches over the runway. For the big guys, you land with power with a steady angle of attack, and at final approach speed. That speed ensures you land on the main wheels, not the nosewheel.
And a bounce is recoverable in the small pistons - add a small bit of power, and control your bounce. With a jet, you can’t spool up with short bursts, as in a piston, so you MUST not land on the nosewheel.
What??? The best landings I have made have been smooth and NEVER approached stall speed. I have been in numerous landing situations, from carrier traps to text-book landings, even a Class C recovery. Not once did we ever come close to stall.
