>With regard to the rough arrivals, try not to be too hard on them, nobody is more aware then the pilots of a bad landing. Often Jepp. miss print the airport elevation by a foot or two and this has caught me out a number of times.

Agreed. However, from where I was sitting, I noted a nicely stabilised approach from around eight miles (I know the landmarks), with the wind straight down the runway, but a huge dollop of spoiler as we came over the undershoot.

Sure, I've got partial knowledge, sitting down the back, but it sure looked like an attempt to save time to me...and left the passengers scared.
