Spot Landing and Landing Approach
Before attempting any landing, get some altitude, reduce power, and maintain a constant altitude with increasing amounts of elevator to get a feel for how much elevator it takes to stall the plane. Then repeat this exercise but add enough power to maintain altitude without having to use anywhere near the amount of elevator that it takes to stall the plane.
When setting up to land. Establish a lower landing pattern, then reduce power and adjust the elevator to effectively set up to land short of the runway.
When the plane gets close the ground, extend the approach using the elevator.
Smoothly add some power if/when you have to keep adding more elevator to stay airborne.
Smoothly reduce the throttle shortly before the preferred touchdown location, and be ready for an almost immediate touchdown.
