Bomarc- I don't think you are a pilot. Your theory is totally wrong. Large aeroplanes like this are very stable. If the thrust levers don't retard thrust evenly from a medium approach level to idle and cause the aeroplane to yaw like you suggest, then this baby is going to be grounded a long time! It doesn't happen like that!

I've watched 2 You Tube videos of the arrival- I see nothing unusual- nice stable approach, smooth landing. What's wrong with it?
