Thanks @TopCat. I did benefit from the smoothest air ever
And.... what did it for me was really controlling the flare and the hold off. I could just do it, fine adjustments to attitude, plenty of time, felt right, and I made the picture look right.
It's funny because YouTube tells you to look for that moment when the runway suddenly gets large in the windscreen but I had what appeared to be the world's widest runway so that tip was no help at all!
In reality it was better speed control and good timing of power to idle
Did I mention the stall warner just a smidgen before touchdown on several of them? No? Well now you know
(Of course I am told that a set of good landings at this stage will transmogrify into poor ones next time but who knows? I haven't exactly been a conventional student )
