Hi Ron,
In the GMA lander the amount of fuel is the variable.
Easy landing on the moon gives you 9 seconds,
Moderate 7 seconds,
and hard, 5 seconds.
I usually wait until 200 to start firing and then try to keep the velocity
around 10 or less.
Here is the Apollo eleven landing transcript.
altitude, feet per second
700 feet, 21
600 feet, down at 19
540 feet, down at 15
400 feet, down at 9
350 feet, down at 4
330, down a three and a half
300 feet, down 3 and a half.
270 feet, down 1 and a half.
250 feet, down at 2 and a half,
220 feet, down at 3 and a half,
200 feet, 4 and a half down,
160 feet, 6 and a half down,
120 feet, 5 and a half down,
100 feet, 3 and a half down,
75 feet. And it's looking good. Down a half,
60 feet, down 2 and a half.
40 feet, down 2 and a half. Picking up some dust.
30 feet, 2 and a half down.
20 feet, down a half.
5 feet, probe Contact Light
lunar contact,
Engine Stop.
