My Husband flew out of Stansted on an Ezy flt 10 days ago to Malaga. He is a great flyer, far better than me, the plane could be diving outta the sky, he wouldnt flinch. But he said the landing in Malaga was worst ever. He flies loads.

He said the descent was fine cloudless skies lovely and smooth but as they came in to touch down it was like the elastic band snapped and the plane fell onto the runway with such a bump it nearly wobbled him out of his seat LOL He said everyone in the cabin just looked at each other with open mouths, but the run down the runway was fine and they came to a safe stop. !!

I was just wondering, is it sort of like learner drivers with the Pilots? in that obviously they have to get experience at landings, but are some just either much worse drivers as others, or maybe could it have been the Pilots 1st landing or first few landings, does experience make a differnce as to how smooth it can be??
