Far from sounding credible you make yourself sound like a bit of a smart alec by damning the captain with feint praise - ' landing a positive one but none that I am sure a training captain wouldn't have passed a student on' - 'one or two feet above the ideal roundout height' - 'a bit annoying' !

Give me strength!

What is your yard-stick for judging the proficiency and accuracy of an asymmetric, hot and high, overweight landing in a large passenger jet?

Did the tyres burst or did they deflate by design following the melting of the fuse plugs?

Attention seeking passengers may be disappointed to learn that rather than surviving a crash they have merely experienced a safely executed single engine landing.

Man and machinery in one piece - job done.

Nice one capt & co.
