Well imho taking your feet away from the rudder pedals in a big twin jet (or indeed any aircraft), in any stage of flight is just asking for trouble !

Also, I was always taught to use the rudder purposefully but also gently - it's a necessarily very powerful control - it needs some respect.

Ps. RTFQ = Read the ******* question, whilst RTFA = Read the ******* answer.
