Having watched this video several times and other similar landings it is interesting to note that many have almost resulted in a perfect landing before descent is arrested several feet above the runway followed by level flight or even an increase in height.
As the aircraft’s spoilers have been very effectively used at London City to enable a steeper stable approach than normal via a “London City Mode”, surely they could be used in a similar “land assist” mode at airports with shorter runways or windsheer issues such as at Funchal.
Upon engagement of the mode it is activated provided that the threshold crossing height is within limits and the aircraft reaches 10 feet at the correct point. Here the spoilers would extend to maintain a minimum descent rate of 100ft per minute to touchdown.
Application of TOGA would cancel the mode and a chime or call out would let pilots know it is active or cancelled depending on whether or not conditions for its deployment had been met.
Thoughts?
