What does excessive pitch during the flare typically result in?

Excessive pitch during the flare is characterized by raising the nose of the aircraft too high as it approaches touchdown. This action can lead to a high flare landing error, where the aircraft may lose effective control of descent rate and energy management just before landing.

When the nose is too high, the aircraft may float along the runway for an extended distance before touching down. This floating can lead to complications, as the pilot may struggle to maintain control and could end up landing farther down the runway than intended. This situation often compromises the aircraft's ability to land safely and can result in an ineffective touchdown. It's essential for pilots to maintain a proper attitude during the flare to ensure a smooth and controlled landing.
