Yes, Keg, so true.
In my x/wind briefings, I used to ask command trainees what was the most important thing in a x/wind landing. They would come up with speed margin, positioning of the flight deck relative to the centreline [B747], application of rudder, wings level with aileron, etc, etc!
Then in red capitals across the top of the board, I'd write one simple word;
FLARE!
Have a look at the video.
