Different terminology but expresses the same thing. Either way we define this most efficient power pitch approach, using airspeed indications to fly it would not be most effective. Visually maintaining apparent brisk walk rate of closure, not allowing apparent rate to speed up, hearing proper power, feeling proper amount of buoyancy, and feeling the right amount of yoke pressure and position are more effective. Motoadve uses the heads up AOA display effectively, but is getting a feel for apparent rate of closure as well.
The airspeed is decelerating, the apparent rate of closure is stable, he is coming into ground effect as airspeed goes below Vso. Vso is of little use in ground effect on this approach. He is touching down softly on the desired touchdown spot at stall speed in low ground effect. There is nothing in any POH concerning stall speed in low, less than an inch at touchdown, ground effect.
This is absolutely not an instrument approach.
