Quote:I’ve seen lots of medium/large RAF aircraft do similar without a need to go around.
Really, Roly old mate? Not in your VC10K time, I trust.... Landing half way down the runway, well off the centreline, after a lousy approach.
Really, I watched a VC10 air display practice where they missed the centreline and heaved the thing round to try and get it back on the display line, It was the first and only time I saw shockwaves forming over the wing roots, the pilot overstressed the aircraft and the meter was reset before we got to the aircraft, no one on the crew would tell us exactly what they had pulled and wanted it hushing up, needless to say the sh*t hit the fan when the aircraft state went in to group that night and the aircraft was listed as grounded for overstress checks as without figures to go by we had to assume the worst scenario..
