Ryanair rather speedy?
I suspect that this has probably been done to death in previous threads but....
I flew on two Ryanair flights yesterday, my third and fourth flights with that airline in total. Bearing in mind that although I fly frequently, I am usually in an A320 family machine so a 737-800 may be different, but I thought that our approach speed (in the last 10-15 seconds before landing) seemed to be much faster than any other flight I have taken. I was not aware of any particular weather conditions that would have accounted for this.
What did not surprise me was the heavy braking action after the wheels hit the ground. It sounded like full reverse (not idle) and certainly the heavy footwear was applied to the brakes. I was thrown forward and only the lap belt restrained me for several seconds from hitting the seat in front.
Heavy landings I understand and can accept, but was what I experienced normal for RYR? Is this them saving a few seconds to complete a rapid turnaround?
