This 737 seems to touch ground with some force, or maybe I'm wrong...

No bounce, the FDR would tell but I doubt it.

Firm but not hard as in requiring post landing inspection.

Yup, you are wrong!
A Commercial not Corporate touchdown.

A damn fine job, considering the wind conditions.
Hi HT how do you know it requires a heavy landing infection , who calls for it

Exup, your typo made me smile! If the a/c is not equiped with FDM/FOQA (google it) then it would be down to the Captain's honesty if he estimated that g force limits were exceeded.
Just goes to show you should not mix iPads & beer.
One has to hope that 'heavy landings' are not catching.

Hard landing, naw, just a typical Navy carrier pilot touchdown. Ain't pretty, but it works. :p
just a typical Navy carrier pilot touchdown - aka a management pilot's landing.:)

Chuck 'em in hard I say - sorts out the wind nicely.

Only because you'd been airborne for 15 minutes and run out of gas! ;)

A terrible X-wind landing!
The pilot didn't take corrective action at all when close to the surface.
If your crosswind landings (to max X-wind limitation) are not as smooth as your no-wind landing, then you need to ask for help.
There would be many who would defend this landing, but they are exactly like the ones I fly with who mess up their landings and always blame outside factors.
They are the ONES who would NEVER admit they need help with their skills and techniques.

You're looking at an F6 there sunshine.

Ironically the 777 crosswind technique includes the ability to 'plonk' it on and kick it off on the runway, no crosswind correction at all! Most of us use either a crab or a wing down technique with some using a combination of both but Boeing are happy to allow a full deflection touchdown with correction on the runway! :eek:

Ooop's, sorry missed the belly tank, 20 minutes of fuel! :E
