Chopped the put down was refering to cutting the video before touch down. And the reason why i use put down instead of touchdown is because it will be a consious choice when the wheels will touch. Instead of reacting to the gust he will just go with it allowing the aircraft to sink to make the touchdown.

If you watch the nose going down the approach you will see no huge attitude changes.

If the speed was hunting you would see the nose going up and down. You just see small corrections allowing the aircraft doing the work. Which is the way personally I know what the student is doing in relation to airspeed

And how does someones postings on pprune relate to thier lesson briefings?

Personally I use the ontrack viewfoils
