There is no 'Chuck method', likewise there is no 'my method'. Both are recognised procedures taught by our predecessors. Fly the one that suits you best.

I do however believe there is merit in exploring both techniques. I am also aware there are pilots who can handle drift whilst crabbing in the flare. Conversely though, there are many bad examples, recorded on video where jet and light aircraft pilots have fouled up rather badly using that very technique.

I am an open minded sort of bloke, so happy to be proven wrong. However the reason I remain such a strong advocator of the cross control technique is because I have YET to witness the technique go wrong.

Happy landings everyone!
