Some airlines have had robust fatigue rules for a while so much of the data available comes from airlines. Airline pilots might fly more hours and perhaps more days but, in my experience, fatigue can happen to you on your first day of work. Do a self-check and keep doing them.

If your procedures say you should land in the touchdown zone, then that's where you should land.
