The C182 is quite nose heavy, especially compared to a 172. This makes it harder to flare correctly, and you actually need [[:File:C182s-LandingPicture.jpg|a high pitch attitude]] to not touchdown too early. Also airspeed is a critical factor, don't try to land too fast (aim for 60-70 KIAS, depending on flaps and wind). Most importantly: Don't try to force the plane down with the elevator and never land on the nose gear first. You had a perfect landing, when you hear the stall horn shortly before the main wheels gently touch the runway, and when you managed to lower the nose wheel gently afterwards. | The C182 is quite nose heavy, especially compared to a 172.
