That's exactly what it looked like to me.

Geez pal, You won't be "demonstrating" that technique in my cockpit.
Thanks Siskel, for your blow-by-blow of the film
Lets make sure we don't ever have to share the cockpit together
av8r4aa, Quaileman's "Blow by Blow" as you put it, was right on. The CORRECT part was flying that thing in a crab, then stepping on the RUDDER just prior to the flare. In this case, the PF failed to keep that right wing down with opposite aileron while OBVIOUSLY STEPPING ON THE LEFT RUDDER to line it up on the centerline. Your "ZERO rudder use" comment is so far off it's laughable.
