Cannot reist telling this tale in response to being stable etc.
Remember when I had just converted to the B707 in 1971 (my first jet conversion) and one of my first line sectors was into PIK RW 31 - got held a bit high by ATC but got the gear down and full flap only to break cloud with quite a high aspect! Very good skipper who gave me lots of reassurance (before all the days of SOPs saying you have to be stable by 500 ft etc.) and just told me to keep VREF + 20 minimum and we ended up touching down at the 1,000 point from a glide approach!!
Not the best way of doing it but I learned a lot - they wouldn't let you do that sort of thing now, or would they?!
But the best bit was when the No 1 (steward) came up to the flightdeck after landing to tell us that he didnt look back to check the cabin for landing but UP!
