deefer dog - Of course you would have done much better wouldn't you misd-agin? The controls would hardly have moved!

Personally I though the guys/girls did a great job, but like you I was not in the airplane, so I have no idea what inputs were called for, or what winds the aircraft was actually experiencing! Analyzing the control deflections, and taking up the role of a mickey mouse investigator with your infinite wisdom of what control deflections are caused by turbulence, and which ones aren't, doesn't really answer the question.

I won't ask what you are rated on.

You don't have to be 777 qualified to see the control movement.


And yes, none of us were in the aircraft. But most professional pilots have seen enough landings to realize that that much control movement isn't necessary. Randomly? Sometimes but very rarely. Randomly several times in a row without a break in pitch, roll, and yaw? No.


But you can ask my experience if you think it is important.
