Expressflight...
Thank-you for your measured response to my post....
As I posted, this wasn't an attempt to bash-up Ryanair, and having flown for over 30 years this felt the heaviest landing (with the one exception into NBO on a BA747 in the 80's).
I attempted to balance what I was posting with some details of the short-strip exposure I have had in to SOU, BRR, Scillies, LCY, Skiathos, not to mention the 1700+ hours logged as a non-commercial pilot.

I appreciate that we all work in commercial environments and again I will state that this wasn't a "bash up Ryanair" post.
My work involves dynamic risk assesment... I have not suggested that the flight to Altenburg was Unsafe, was outside parameters or anything similar.
As a regular user of Ryanair and Easyjet on the NG737 I have also become familiar with what is normal. This landing was fast, hard, and very heavy on the brakes (seemed to be normal braking then heavy).
