LEARNING THE HARD WAY
Just yesterday on approach to GCXO, runway 30 in use. Encountered sudden drop of airspeed at 150 ft, autothrust engaged, managed speed. Wind from the West, gusting to 20 kts, clear skies. Increased manual N1, spool up time just delivering when mains slammed unto the tarmac on the 900 ft marker, bounced about ten feet I reckon, plenty of runway, expletives and more, managed to stay on centerline, reversers,exiting on C2 red faced but appreciative of another mega lesson learnt landing a big jet, A 330/300 at Tenerife North.
