IOE on the 727, pulled the throttles to idle at 30 feet!! Heard the engineer audibly gasp, captain say "not yet!", then put a crater into the runway at DEN. I think the rollout was less than 500 feet. Never happened again, but in the 72 everything was a crapshoot... Passengers never said a word, at that place you got what you paid for I guess.

The only way i could ever land that thing was land it in a slip one wheel at a time even if there wasnt a cross wind. If i ever landed on both mains it was always ugly.

lol did you fix your seat height yet?
Went to BOS last trip, coming in on 27 was like a direct 15kt crosswind, gusty, just crap. Beautiful landing, damn near greased it. Next leg into PIT, they cut me loose for a short approach, swung it around, on speed, looking BEAUTIFUL - no wind, I was like man, this is gonna be nice. Thumped it on. I couldn't believe it. I had the captain cracking up, whenever I tank one on I always yell "We're here!!"

Thats so funny because my first smooth landing thats exactly what I did! I think Im going to start landing like that all the time since you mentioned it. How much time you have in the ATR?

Just because the Duchess and CRJ-200 are easy to land doesn't make them nice to land...they roll down the runway like loose goose's and hit the runway like a rolling pig - not exactly pleasant.
Give me stiff gear, where I can occasionally really grease the bird on and I'm happy!
Remember kids - the -200 makes most landings good, but a great landing impossible. Rise to the challenge that a stiff gear gives you!

It was at night, and he was blaming some reflection from the side windows that made him see two rows of edge lights. I've been looking for that anomaly ever since, and have yet to find it.
