Interesting. If you pull back on the controls, the sink rate stays the same. Does this work in other phases of flight? Maybe we should revisit the actions required for a go-around or hard GPWS?
How do you know you weren't going to get a good landing anyway the time you 'pushed forward' on the controls? I think a 'greaser' has more to do with your ROD during the touchdown versus auto-speedbrake deployment but I digress...
I'm just pointing out that if you actually analyse the physics of what you think you are doing, it might be somewhat different to the common perception...
Try this while you are on approach:
Note the rate of descent. Add thrust (keeping the attitude the same). Note rate of descent a few seconds later.
And this:
Note the rate of descent. Pull back on the yoke, keeping the thrust constant. Note rate of descent a few seconds later.
Notice any difference?
