At Manchester the Ryanair flights landing on 23R usually try to make the second RET. A Flap 30 approach would be carried out typically at around 148kts before any adjustment fo wind. Autobrake 3, which is the second highest level would normally suffice for this scenario.

The Ryanair SOP closely follows the Boeing advice if I understand correctly, which is to flare at 30 feet, cut the power at 10 feet and hold attitude for a firm landing in the correct touchdown area. Any attempt to finesse the landing can lead to a long flare.

I speak as a non-pilot but as someone closely involved in Ryanair sim assessments for cadet pilots ten years ago via a fixed base 737-800 simulator so I did gain a fair understanding of procedures during that time, but am happy to be corrected on the above.
