Reference some airliners landing, agreed, BUT this was something else I promise you!! Runway was dry, with a slight crosswind only. No, I think on this ocassion he really bombed it!! For some reason he flew it manually on the way back and frankly his style was very erratic - not a smooth flyer at all. I think he was training, and before engine start up for the return from Nevers it was very quiet on board - you could easily hear them going through the checklists. We heard the Captain say something along the lines of
"Well, if you're not going to do it properly, I'll just have to do it myself", wherupon the !st officer retorted "OK, but a proper demonstration might help!!"
Oh dear, not a great start to the return flight, and one of our guests shouted out "Will you two stop arguing and get on with flying the plane!!" It was all a bit tense in the passenger cabin. One or two even retorted that it would be preferable if I flew it, and I've not even gone solo yet!!!! They were however relatively cheap for a two day charter of a 19 seat turbo prop.....
PS - on the way out, the captain touched down beautifully on a pretty short runway - Nevers in the Loire Vally - real text book stuff
