Hard Landings
Sensible or not - since I'm on the receiving end of over 150 landings a year it is quite interesting to feel the difference
between them - LGW & STN to CIA, LHR to FCO.
Ciampino is long enough for 747s so guess that isn't an issue.
(Air Force One and C5 Galaxy presidential support use it)
Last Friday (the biggest bump this year) was dry and no wind.
Landings in wet and windy have been less violent - whether Easyjet Airbus or Ryanair 737-800.
Just trying to get a consistent picture - hey doing it more than twice a week every week - you have to while away the time somehow.
Just curious - grew up, perhaps mistakenly, believing that pilots tried to execute as soft a landing as possible for the benefit and comfort of passengers.
