Make smooth, timely, and correct control application before, during, and after touchdown.

The power should be smoothly reduced to idle in the round out prior to touchdown. After the short-field touchdown, maximum stopping effort is achieved by retracting the wing flaps, adding back pressure to the elevator/stabilator, and applying heavy braking.
