Shorts 360, Leeds, me a 'trusty' F/O with a new Captain who elected not to do the landing !

230/35 g 42kts.

I briefed for an approach on 14, I did the tops and rudder, he did the power to try and keep the speed somewhere near. On landing, he applied full reverse, not just beta, I had the tops full over and down.

We enjoyed a well deserved libation afterwards.

Some while later..........................

Locked onto the ILS at Leeds, 'tother end, by now in the left seat of a 321. The wind readout at 3,000' was 230/73kts - I was looking down the runway through the F/O's window.

Wind at the surface was within limits, just - strangled the sidestick, got it down - I hate working for my dollar
