Default One, big sh*t-eating grin...!

I might have been teaching it wrong for forty years, but I was taught
simultaneous aileron and rudder.

One of the best exercises I know of for teaching coordination are mild dutch
rolls, say 20° or so of bank continuous left and right for a few miles. It
wears the student out pretty fast until they get the hang of it, but
thereafter their turns are a thing of joy to behold. You can do it coming
home from the practice area until you are almost into the pattern and it
provides a good opportunity to lift a wing and see what is underneath as
well.

Yes, I do use rudder. Perhaps I don't understand exactly
what is meant by leading a turn. I assumed it was using
rudder first instead of simultaneous use of aileron and rudder.
Is that incorrect?
