i noticed whenever i fly with Ex-Military guys,
i always have auto-rudder inputs during crosswind landings......, i flare slightly lower below the recommended height of 30ft RA(i reduce the sink rate at 30ft ra, and wait a bit before i flare fully). and some ex military guys gets nervous and pulls the stick at the exact same moment i pull, and we get Dual-Input, aircraft pitches up more than it should all of sudden.. and floated, soon after, the speed start bleeding off and the aircraft sank.. WHAM!!...

i would just pretend nothing happened(although i can clearly hear dual input and see the greenlight flashing) and tell the captain.. wow.. did u notice the sudden pitch up just now?

for some reasons, i get this mostly from ex-military guys..... it seems that to them,only they know how to fly.. and these people always tries to neutralize the crab angle and fly with cross-control inputs at approx 150ft RA to touchdown on an Airbus......
