While others whose skills far exceed mine are able to pirouette in the flare, I was never comfortable with that on a sweptwing aircraft, far preferring to transition to a stable slip for the last 50-150 feet of the approach depending on the magnitude of the crosswind. Strangely, I was quite happy to do the ballet thing on lighties .. probably something to do with the difference in inertias ?
John, I am interested to know exactly how you go about this! Thanks for any help.
