All the above points are vaild, but a late 'rotation' or 'grab' WILL increase the INSTANTANEOUS 'g' at main-wheel touch, and could well put the QAR reading into the 'coffee-no-biscuits' area. Of course a pitch change at the RIGHT time is better, but we are talking about when it is 'too late'. Bringing Gerona into this is a REAL red herring. I can assure you, that having rescued a few co-pilots' potential 'heavies', 'grabbing' late is NOT a good option. All I am saying is a warning that a late intervention can often make things worse.
I 'co'd' for a very experienced Captain a few years ago who ALWAYS had the most 'horrendous' descent rate all the way to landing - such that I had the leather gum protector in my mouth - and he ALWAYS greased it on
I STILL cannot work out how he did it.
