Flaring becomes a mision

It's power on for landing in the Q400 isn't it Brendan?

 

Perhaps a slight reduction in power?

Yeah- power on- reduce about 2% torque (I've found that for our Majestic Q400, around 4% is the norm, but it could have been because my weights were different) for flaps 15 landings, and for flaps 35, reduce power consistent with other conventional high wing aircraft- bring it almost to idle while in the flare (flaps 35 has the flare more pronounced, since you're going from nose-low on approach to approx. 4 degrees pitch up. Flaps 15 landings, you're already approaching the runway at a nose pitch attitude of 2-3 degrees. 

 

In the 767, I've found that reducing power at 30ft to idle (again, based on where my speed is at the moment, if I'm way above, then I'll reduce a little earlier), and pitch to 4 degrees. It'll get you nicely in the touchdown zone with good positive wheel contact, no float. Whether it's a greaser or not is up to the aviation gods.

To be honest I haven't flown the Q400 for a while, too busy with the T7. And now the Duke V2 of course.

 

Must get back to the Q400, fantastic add-on.
