Late touchdown to get to terminal quicker?
I was recently on an ATR72 flight. Domestic terminal was at the opposite end to the TDZ. Instead of touching down at the beginning of the runway we didn't touch down until about 2/3 of the way down the runway and then braked fairly hard to exit to the domestic terminal. There was maybe 100ft of runway left judging by the distance markers. It didn't seem like we were having difficulty touching down but more like the pilot was deliberately holding it there to touch down later to get to the terminal more quickly. I was wondering if this is an acceptable procedure? Never seen anything like it before. Must admit I started to panic a bit when we had long passed midway before touching down.
