Yep - all of the above is correct !

The cranking is due to a bowed rotor caused by heat distortion on short turnrounds. The cranking 'restraightens' the rotor.

The other problem with the V2500 is variable touchdowns on autolands.

If you are LHS - get used to closing the thrustlevers at 50' provided you have the normal energy margin on VLS otherwise you will do the 5.....5.....5.....5.... dance down the runway

The flap setting on the V2500 is slightly different to the CFM which also affects the flare.

I much prefer the CFM.
