Plan your approach so that you touchdown at the head of runway so as to give yourself as much room as possible. Once you stop bouncing gradually pull back on the stick to slow down. When you reach about 20 mph then you can use thr rudder to safely turn around and slow down even more.

I have a similar thread going, but I guess I'll use this one cause it's fresh.

Did some research last night. Here are the facts:

There is no wheel brake for the flight sticks as of this moment.

To land successfully:

Aproach the field, etc., etc. (throttle to 30%)

upon touchdown REDUCE throttle to 20%

slow the aircraft to around 150 and pull back on the yoke (stick) and adjust trim.

Continue to keep back preassure on the yoke while slowing to 57 (throttle to zero)

at exactly 57 give a short burst of engine power by increasing the throttle to around 25-30% and immediately reset to zero. The idea here is to give just enough throttle to keep the aircraft from flipping WITHOUT GAINING SPEED. Your speed should slowly decrease throughout this entire step.

Roll out untill your speed reaches zero.

Works every time

Now I know some of this sounds like a bit much. Some of it doesn't make sense in terms of real worl physics, but this is what works.....

Edit: I found what I think is a glitch last night. It quit when I reloaded the game. It was trying to flip at around 30 instead of 55. Might want to watch out for this if you are playing online.

I think the speed difference is because you are using Miles per hour instead of Kilometres per hour.
