I seem to have made a classic teaching error, by being vague. Doh.

Anyway...what I mean he

By "pause" and "speed up", I am referring to the increase in backpressure
that goes along with the flare. The stick should be moving back in a
continuous, steady movement. "Pause" means momentarily stop the movement of
the stick, while "speed up" means increase the rate at which the stick is
moved back.

I most definitely did not mean to increase one's airspeed when I wrote
"speed up". Sorry if there was any confusion.
