  • Perform early and firm touchdown (early as runway behind you is no use, firm to ensure no delay in ground spoiler extension, brake physical onset, and reverse extension by sluggish wheel spin-up and/or delayed flight to ground transition of the gear squat switches)
  • Decelerate as much as you can as soon as you can: aerodynamic drag and reverse thrust are most effective at high speed, then moderate braking only at low taxi speed after a safe stop on the runway is assured
  • Do not delay lowering the nose wheel onto the runway (it increases weight on braked wheels and may activate aircraft systems, such as auto-brake)

A normal touchdown that ensures ground spoilers deployment.
