Your post seems to contain some contradiction and exageration. The most glaring being that anyone who thinks it is clever to land an airliner "on the numbers" really should not be doing simulator cx on anybody.

I don't know about the A320 but if you were to land a 757 from a 3 degree approach without some sort of flair it would involve a lot of hangar time for the ship. I don't suppose an airbus is that much stronger.

I guess stopping an A320 in 800mtrs from 50ft across the threshold at MLW is possible. My figures for a 757 state less than 3000 ft at "average" landing weight, which would probably equate, but a flare is allowed for in taking 1000 ft from 50 over the threshold to touchdown.

If your facts are correct then why spoil your argument with all the other stuff? It doesn't impress really.
