However, the increased drag might make it impossible to take off again. If you’re not stabilized at 200 feet AGL, go around. On a normal landing, you’d pull the power over the threshold, begin your roundout, and flare around 10 feet AGL. Hold this extra power as you enter ground effect.

Drag : The aerodynamic force opposing the aircraft’s forward motion. This increases lift but comes at the cost of increased induced drag. Pilots must counteract the additional drag with more thrust to maintain altitude. Fly at least 1,500 above ground level (AGL) to allow room for recovery in case you stall the aircraft.
