Normal landing should be on the mains with the nose gear just a few
inches off. IRL the Air Safety foundation says full flaps. I tried
that earlier tonight and the resulting landing was a greaser.
As my old instructors used to say, Mains are strong for landing. Nose
gear is fragile and expensive. Use it only for low speed steering.
The Mooney wants to float and full flaps should help slow it more
quickly. I'd consider 90 knots down final a bit fast, but get the
real life *book* figures, not what some one else flies and use those
numbers. Most pilots tend to land too fast. Bo pilots are probably the
worst of the lot. I doubt Mooney pilots would be far behind except for
the tendency of the Mooney to float even with a couple MPH extra where
as the Bo requires a lot of extra speed to float and those big flaps
at 40 degrees slow it in a hurry. The Mooney sits very close to the
runway on short, squat gear with the wing on the Bo being nearly 3
times that height on tall gear.

That sounds logical.

Adding speed should not raise the nose. You add power and hold the
same attitude unless wayyyy below the GS or far too slow.
>As soon he is back on ILS track hi levels out.
If that is the case he'd lifting the nose to gain altitude not
applying power. If way below GS then you do add power and raise the
nose adjusting the power and pitch again at intercept or rather
leading (or prior to) the intercept with the change a bit ahead of
time.
Typically they teach "attitude flying' where you adjust your rate of
descent with power and use pitch for airspeed which of course sounds
backwards.
