Oh yeah, Ryanair. I swear that they train their pilots to land as if on an aircraft carrier!
I clearly remember one flight Torp to Stan: everything fine until on the glideslope at Stan, a/c nose suddenly pitches down + experience sustained and character building sink rate (pax turn green and clammy). Landing was what could best be described as "firm" (most pax winded) + extremely rapid decel and exit of runway (and I am comparing this with Ryanair's usual urgency to leave the runway).
Releived and spontaneous applause follows this circus
. Was almost expecting an announcement along the lines of "passengers may now collect their hand luggage from the piles that have formed at the front of the aircraft!"
Cockpit door remains firmly closed during pax unload.
Probably just hit some sort of turbulenc e on approach because it didn't seem to be a crosswind situation.
