Question How hard does a 747 land???

Hey there! (my first post on this forum)
I was interested to know what rate (in fpm) does a 747 touch the runway at in real life??
In flightsim, i touch them down at avrg. 140feet per minute. (this represents how hard the wheels touch the ground)and i was wondering (all you 747 pilots out there) what rate (in fpm) would be considered a good landing?

Any help will be MUCH appreciated.
regards, Andrew (sydney, Australia)
