flight's concept of a 'good landing'

I didn't leave out the equatins for coupling yaw and roll, I never could
figure them out.  THe book I read didn't have them and I couldn't figure
out how to derive them myself.  Also from what I could figure out, it
only is true for dihedral wings - on fighters that have nearly flat wings
(instead of a V shape) roll and yaw might not be coupled nearly as much
as on a B-747.

I would appreciate it if anyone could send me some data on this effect,
as aeronautics isn't my field.  

P.S. Singer Link sells a micro-flight simulator that uses a 68000 to do
the calculations and then talks thru a serial port to an IRIS.  I trust
their equations would satisfy most of you real pilots, but I couldn't get
their code and its written is assembly anyway.  So real pilots - be quite
and go buy a SInger Link simulator (they take American Express...)
