and could do it in a airliner just as easy.
IDon't let anyone tell you otherwise.
I see a lot of Airline guys never using the rudder on landing.
It's a crappy,rough landing without. I guess they think
those thingys on the floor are there just for a foot rest!
Exactly, I've never flown with a captain who did not do this and none of the captains I have flown with have suggested I change mt technique.
