Practice flying with an instructor until you are cleared to fly alone. Flying requires a large skill-set that is not easy to learn. In addition, not everyone can learn to fly.
There’s a wheel but unlike the steering wheel in a car, an a/c is not steered with the wheel. It’s steered with the feet and the propeller. Fly the aircraft until it’s over the numbers at the end of the runway. Pull off the power. The a/c will descend. The Rate of Descent is important for a great landing. Control of the R/D is with airspeed and power. The pilot must judge when to remove or add power to control the R/D. That’s a flying skill that must be learned. The a/c can be flown so that the back of the wheels will softly contact the runway. There are loads of factors that affect the R/D. Speed of the a/c. Wind direction and speed relative to the a/c. Weight of the a/c. Condition of the surface of the wing. Pilot skill. The rate of descent is absolutely under the control of the pilot. A soft landing every time is not a luxury nor rare. It’s how the a/c must be flown. Total control by the pilot until the a/c is stopped is mandatory. No doping off for a pilot and smooth landings where the wheel or wheels come in contact with the runway so soft that the tires go FFLUFF. If there’s a crosswind the a/c can be landed on the upwind main wheel first then onto the other main then the nose wheel is gradually lowered and the a/c stops flying and is rolling towards where it is supposed to go.
