If this is happening in real life - then let go of the stick between each “nudge of attitude change”.

Thanks for the reply. Very much looking on the line not the sim. Yes I think this method certainly helps let’s say down to a 100ft but below that and into the flare I’m not so sure ( just trying to think what I do).

What sometimes surprises me is on turnarounds is the vastly different pedal and arm rest positions for pilots of roughly the same proportions. I also see different ways pilots handle the aircraft and wondered wether there’s a link as the airbus magazine suggested.

Getting back to basics if you have a brand new pilot to the A320 how are they taught to find the right pedal and armrest positions?
