Settle troops. The intent of the OP is pretty obvious.

Actually, I find those who are good at seat-of-the-pants flying produce the result best down final when the machine is pitching about and the autothrottle is working hard (or it's out). Immediately reacting when you feel the @rse falling out of the aircraft instead waiting for the sight picture to change always produces a better outcome.
