.......the MAS 777 " aces " did plough OZ brand new tins onto the tarmac.
FYI the flight in question was a F/O training flight. That happened in BKK. Granted it was a hard landing, but that happens quite often when you have a person under training.
OZ made a big deal about it cos they are expected to do a "smooth" landing every time. F/O are rarely allowed to land the aircraft for that very reason and if a landing is given to him, he will give you back the control at the first sign of problem.
His mistake was he didn't know you are not suppose to allow F/O land the aircraft during training as its is regularly done in MAS
