Being on speed is important in any aircraft. Too fast and you'll float down the runway wasting valuable ground. Too slow and you'll tend to hit hard or drag the tail.

Try this...

At around 100 feet AGL, start looking down towards the far end of the runway. This will give you a better sense of sink rate and altitude as you start the flare. In the real plane (727) you would flare first to arrest the sink then slowly close the throttles. The 727 had a high wing loading so closing the throttle first would result in a firm or hard landing.
