Namps,

By these other philosophies, he/she must have been a very unprofessional pilot.

Kaptin M,

I'm not saying to risk life/career/plane.. just wanted to know if pilots were being taught that a good landing seems to show that the pilots aren't just sighing at the end of a flight and after all. IT IS what pax remember ...

Some of you seem to be making the stupid mistake of rating the landing quality to determine the pilot’s skill. You should realize though that a large number of airlines, mine included, emphasize toughing down in the “Zone”, rather than a smooth landing
You just answered my original question.

Someone told me recently

" A good landing is one you can walk away from, a great landing is when the aircraft can be reused."

Perhaps that is in the Ops manual?
