Now, had that been a c-172, it would've been a little more believable.

Too much airspeed and bad X-wind technique. The porpoise was the most dangerous part of that landing. About the 3rd touchdown he almost lost it and hit the right wing tip. something tells me he learned something about flying from that.

I don't know. I think the MD80/ERJ lnadings where the tails broke off could give that a run for the money as far as the hardest ever.

No way...that wasn't bad x-wind technique, it was ZERO x-wind technique...

I think the runway at London City is less than 5,000 feet long. It has a 5.5 degree glideslope and requires special certification, as I understand...and London is famous for being very gusty.

It's uncomfortable, but a hard landing dissipates a ton of energy (take that, runway!!!) and helps the aircraft bleed off the extra airspeed it may have carried for the gusts.

I think they someone is getting ready to fly A318s to the US in/out of there.

That would be a sporty landing after a trans-Atlantic flight in the winter.

...any landing you can walk away from...

I don't know, looks like he had a crab in all the way to the bottom.

He didn't float, was close to being on centerline, and landed in the touchdown zone, ALL THREE TIMES. Whats so bad about it?

It was actually a different Avro that was carted off on a barge...that one was in the star alliance scheme and this one was in the standard swiss scheme...

A hard landing nonetheless...

I'm sure the 5 degree glideslope doesn't help...
