RiptideBlack,
I’m glad you find the guide I posted helpful! I’ve printed out select pages to refer to when I fly, along with the GKS manual.
To that point, I realized there’s a marking on the throttle quadrant for the proper range for landing. The DCS guide has labels in English, which makes it easier to check against the Russian markings in the GKS cockpit. I’m assuming it is the front of the throttle that needs to be in that range.
I took screenshots from both manuals.

With that in mind, I’ve been practicing getting into the landing configuration and reducing my speed, but starting at 6,000 feet or so, then pulling up gear and flaps and going back up to the same altitude to start again. I understand that some actual, real life flight training consists of the same kind of exercises prior to landing on the ground.
