No no, walking away from it = good landing. Airplane re-usable = great landing :)
My first flight/landing in IOE was firm to say the least. Was told in the sim not to flare the saab, so guess what, I didn't :eek: I thought we hit so hard that we were back in the air. I did hit the touchdown zone, literally. One of the passengers asked the flight attendant for her to land the plane next time. Just when you think you have it figured out in the Saab, the plane proves you otherwise. p.s. So true, I seem to greased it in the worst weather, but not when the weather is great |

Been at chautauqua for almost a year, never had any real problems landing. Last week, VFR, light to no winds at IND, some reason was too late on the flare and bam, I thought I lost wings. One passenger made a comment when deplaning. Feeling pretty bad about this, anyone had the same thing happen? I know no one will fly perfect all the time, but man, that was terrible.
I asked one DC-8 driver (and fellow carrier Naval Aviator) how to fly the 8 in close before I started training, he said it was "all a mystery below 30 feet" :rolleyes: |

I've gotta agree with every post here regarding the Dash. Any greaser is pure luck, or, a wet runway. If you'd like to cure your guilt of occasionally pounding one on, come jumpseat on a Dash-8. You will never feel bad again! There's never a question whether you've touched the ground...

flaps 35 if you have some runway to play with has a CHANCE of being smooth, but only if the clouds open up and the dash gods smile down upon you.

drilled the 145 on GSO one day. pax told me he did not like the landing. i said, "neither did we, we're gonna go back and try it again."
i've also had a few captains announce over the PA after a hard one, "ladies & gentlemen, we have arrived." |
The 170 can be greased fairly easily...that being said. 2 weeks out of IOE going into IAD (19L). A ncie 11,000ft runway to play with, calm winds, good vis...sounds easy. I slammed that sucker on so hard I popped 3 overhead bins open. Had the Capt in stitches as he told the folks that there was a massage parlor in B terminal and such. Hasn't happened since, but man that one sticks out in the mind.
