With enough experience, with good weather, good judgement, a long runway, no traffic behind, and appropriate conditions, a pilot might perform a leisurely landing - just for the joy of it.

Don’t shoot me...........

(The A330 stops on a sixpence once the autobrake activates).

However; the A330 landing shown is very excessive in my humble view - a few seconds between front mains landing and nose wheel touch down maybe, not 12 !! S/he delays too long the front mains landing as well.

What must be borne in mind is that when you really need to do a performance landing on a short field; can you?
