Virgin hard landing yesterday at YMCY
My son flew into Sunshine Coast yesterday on Virgin (VA481?). Flight was a bit delayed, no idea why. Weather was fine, light winds, nothing exciting at all. When he walked into the airport he complained of a sore spine, and said the landing was very hard. We overheard another passenger saying the same thing. Both were sitting over the wing. Son said the plane actually bounced. He chewed his way through a significant quantity of pain killers, and commented several times during the day about how painful it was - and as a professional athlete he's not a wimp!
FO doing their first landing on a B738? I can't think of anything else that would explain such a hard bump on a nice day. As far as I know, the plane flew out again, so apparently no damage to the gear.
Puzzling.
