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?
Depending on the airport layout (you don't say where you were landing), the difference between making a particular runway exit and missing it can amount to considerably more than "a few seconds".
