Believe me when I say the pilot must flare the airplane.

Yes, it's only fighters and support aircraft landing on carriers which deliberately don't flare, right?

For passenger comfort and to reduce stress on the landing gear, commercial jets do flare.

Right...I never have landed on a carrier but retired on the
B 777.
