ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

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

Bottom line

The OEI approach and landing should be flown as close as possible to a normal approach and landing in terms of key positions, altitudes, and airspeeds. The airplane will float somewhat in the roundout for landing without the drag of both windmilling propellers, particularly if the flaps have been only partially extended.
