Conditions for the last impact with tarmac which a LH 321 pilot subjected me to were hardly demanding, good vis, 6 knots down the runway and no cross-wind.....


Guess thats more a mental problem. You simply believe that it can't go wrong in that good conditions...and WHAM, gravitation strikes back.
Honestly, its happend to me as well. Gusty SW wind on 27R at LHR; a barely noticable smooth touchdown.
A day later at my home base in central Europe, clear skies and absolutely no wind; resulted in a flight/landing-check of the MLG struts....
