Thumbs up

what a beautiful flight again last evening, a very nice visual approach with a short final and a smooth and gentle landing, followed by a short hop to another island , where the 1 st officer made a rather ferm landing.

Looked around prepared for the return flight , including the pax figures , baggage weight , notams , fuel , weather , route , take off performance- with the ambient wind , temperature , air pressure , weight, runway length , speeds and thrust , special passengers , local rules etcetera.

A nice return flight avoiding the thunderstorms, delaying descent , to avoid the thunderstorms underneath us right then, followed by a steeper descent and a nice approach and landing by the 1 st officer who was still a bit "pissed"by his landing before... gentle braking the 83 tons landing weight from 135 knots down to taxi speed...

And on the bus back to the car park , saying hello to the bus driver and getting a nice reply from him....

We respect each other in one's job, that's normal isn't it ?

Cheers , Endeavour
