Well. Thanks all. You may be surprised to hear that I don't regret starting this thread, even if it made me look like a prat.

Next time, I would be less willing to criticize, even though criticism does not imply that I think I could have done better. In fact, as soon as I saw the video, I had a nightmare vision of me frozen at the controls, having come in high, seeing the runway rapidly disappearing and not having the brain bandwidth to do anything about it. Discussions like this might help me to visualize sideslipping to save the day. I have used sideslipping, without flaps and early in the approach in practice engine fails, but I don't trust that I would have had the mental ability to pull that trick out of the box with flaps down and 50 feet above the runway.

Thanks!
