Flare armd
Thanks for the numbers. A bank angle range of 8.5 to 13 degrees sounds pretty workable to me (a non 73 driver) I mean, 13 degrees, at normal landing pitch attitude, is a lot of bank during the flare.
I know I am not qual'd to say, so opinion only, but it would seem perfectly reasonable, normal and safe to be using the decrab/upwind wheel on first technique keeping in mind the above quoted numbers.
Things would have to be going horribly wrong to be even approaching 13 degrees bank during the flare whilst squeezing off drift. Maybe one should have another go, or shouldn't be there in the first place.
Feel free to shoot me down.....
