I've managed a couple landings at Dover with aviator by centering the stick when the plane gets below about 70kph and then extending stopping distance by yawing left and right.

It still takes the entire runway though, so I had to turn around and take off in the other direction. I haven't managed the entire inspection mission with just aviator layout.
finally managed to do that inspection mission (thanks silence!!!)
Ok so the trick to land on sim is to do a soft touch (as any normal landing) with speed between 120 and 150 km/h and throttle at about 30% (faster is possible but can make for quite a bumpy ride and crash).

When both front wheels have touchdown and plane is steady, ease off on all controls, raise the landing flaps, bring throttle down to minimum (without braking) so the back wheel touches down. Wait for speed to drop to 100 km/h then put the brakes full on and hold them until the plane come to a complete stop. You'll still hit that "bump" at speeds of 40-60 km/h but the plane wont tip over. I've managed to do some quite short landing this way, being able to take off in the same direction on even the shortest runways...rudder being stuck to the left is a killer when taking off again tho so watch out for that

Edit: I usually fly with the aviator settings on the control pad so I have to change it to the wireless control settings whenever i have to land b/c 1st option doesnt offer pecise throttle and braking control
