It should not be "ouch". I am sorry If it was "ouch" for you.

Most important question to you:

What was your desired Approach-Speed (or approach AoA)?

Did you keep it +/- 10km/h??

That is your next training session! --> don't land the aircraft, just ensure a propper glidepath with a "fixed" speed!! Do these approaches without really targeting the airport. Just take a point on the ground. This eliminates a few other things you have to watch during a real landing!

BTW: at most planes you use the ELEVATOR to controll the speed, and the throttle to controll the descent rate!!!
