C'mon Guys, We're not talking about the once-in-a-blue-moon 'greaser'. (which is probably around or less than 1in/sec).
I don't think the PAYING pax or us expect this unrealistic greaser.
All we want is an acceptable and bearable rate of descent when the flying machine contacts terra firma.
We are trying to workout why pilots these days test the vertical limit imposed by FAR's of 10ft/sec continuously.
There was an article that appeared in the flying magazines a few years ago which talked about the "Jacobson Flare", written by David Jacobson, a QF 737 training captain. Unfortunately I cannot find it on the 'net.
