Dear AirRabbit,

I read your article on final approach / flare...it's great. On your scale C150 to 747 I'm definately at the low hours C150 end. However I'm slightly confused...a not unusual situation. Two points
a) I've got three seconds to retard the throttle and remove any crab. Does the three seconds start when I start to initiate the flare or when I achieve the level flight attiude?

b)Is the gust factor that's added the total gust or the component along the runway?

Apologises if this is all blindingly obvious.
