Like usual this will get two types of responses. I am a professional
airline pilot with over 10,000 hours including bush time. It always makes
me nervous when people drag it in low with power and try to cut the power
over the threshold and land. It at best is an inconsistent landing
depending on winds, gusts ect. Also coming in low is never recommended for
safety. From my experience it is much safer and also much more consistent
to approach on a steeper glide path with little or no power to touch down.
It demands better pilot technique but delivers consistent safer results.
The low approach is particularly perilous at night.
Just my two cents, but has always been a bit of a pet peeve to me over my
career.
