“...crashed because (the pilot had never actually flow the plane...”. Wow!

Yep, this is pretty fundamental.

Whether you land with A/P or not, you MUST know your speeds - critically final approach speed and stall speed. For us smaller guys, you want to get to ideally get to stall speed inches over the runway. For the big guys, you land with power with a steady angle of attack, and at final approach speed. That speed ensures you land on the main wheels, not the nosewheel.

And a bounce is recoverable in the small pistons - add a small bit of power, and control your bounce. With a jet, you can’t spool up with short bursts, as in a piston, so you MUST not land on the nosewheel.

"...crashed because (the pilot had never actually flow the plane...".

"Excuse me captain, can you fly?"

"Nope"
