I have an Indian student, and as is the case with many Indians, he cannot make the last ten feet of flight work out in his favor. He is driving the airplane into the ground, then flaring at the last minute, ballooning to all hell, and then not correlating that situation with the fact that he always ends up trying to tear the nosegear off when it happens.

Flies great otherwise.

Advice plz?

And yes, I'm making sure he's looking at the far end of the runway and not right in front of the nose.
