A hard landing limit of 2.6 G sounds high.After reading this,I don,t belive any more that an A 320 series has a weaker airframe than the 737 Ng and Md80 series,or maybe it has something to do with the long leg,s of the bus.A 737 driver once told me that you didn,t bother with a hard landing check unless hitting over 700 ft/min so there is some variations of the information.One more thing! Is it possible to overload the aircraft if you flare to late,with a violent pitch rate even with a decent rate within the limits? I saw a video on youtube with a Zoom 767 witch probaly had the cg well in front of the mains.When flaring late,he rotated the main gear into the runway with great force.It looked like a hard landing,but were the sink rate was well inside the limits.Since I not into computers,I am not able to give you a link.
