Good morning fellow Ppruners, I see the conversation has become polite again and the insulting comments have disappeared, maybe it is a time zone thing and we are back in a culture that can show some respect for others?
Anyhow this poster has correctly identified the intent of my reason for this discussion.
What Chuck was getting at was why some people would WANT to transition as early as it seems many do. This is also my suspicion, as Pace writes above, that this 'forward slip' is employed to cover up for lack of ability.
For instance why would you want to increase your workload coming up on what could be a landing that may require increased workload?
Is it runway anticipation?
This conversation is meant to be about control input during the final approach.
The flare and landing is a whole different subject.
