Dont land like its the sim
Hard landing in IAD causes ceiling panel to fall off, hit a passenger, no injuries.
United Airlines ceiling panel falls after landing at Dulles International Airport (VIDEO) - Story | WNYW |
Yeah the 767 will get ya sometimes. Hardest landing Iv ever been apart of (CA was flying:D) was HNL in a 767-400.

Wasn't my fault. Wasn't the plane's fault. It was the asphalt.

767 landing tip.. power on until after touch down.

11 years EWR-HNL on B764. Yes, I have felt some really hard ground contacts. This works every time.
50 Flare 30 Flare somemore Close Throttles 20 10 Nice landing! Brakes 3, Idle Reverse, Autobrakes off at 40knots, taxi to gate on time. Repeat Fly Safe Fly Often |

As a passenger the hardest landings always seem to be on the 767. I don't know why, but that forward-tilting bogey is what I blame :D The 757 (like most airplanes) has a slightly backward tilted wheel bogey so the rear sets touch first followed by the front set. The A330 is awesome in this regard. I don't know why the 767 is different like that.

I've been in a lot of sims, from big monster airbusses to tiny single engines (with a lot in between). I've seen them landed poorly, and I've seen them landed well. The ones that were landed well were using visual cues at the end and feeling it through. The ones that were poor were trying to land "automatically" and usually didn't really understand the aerodynamics associated with landing, disregarding the visual and other cues. This usually transitioned over to the airplane, except that in some initial training, I saw that people were generally "afraid" to do what they did in the sim. Possibly too much sensory overload at that point and mental-blocks that prevented using the same cues due to real consequences.
In general, I've noticed that there are pilots that "understand" landing and can land nearly anything, regardless of size and weight, and there are those that never really "get it". I was definitely that pilot at one point, and I worked hard to overcome it. |
Don't know nothin' about the 400, except that in general the more they stretch them the worse they fky and harder they get to land, so there is that.
The 757 and 767-200/300, in that order, are the sweetest landing airplanes out there, in my experience. Especially with a good stiff crosswind. |
