Watching videos like this it is not difficult to see why aircraft operated by third-rate airlines like this often end up in a heap beyond the end of the runway.

YouTube - Mahan Air Airbus A300 Landing At Dubai - Cockpit view

Note the 23 second delay between crossing the threshold and touchdown!

Absolutely appalling! (regardless of runway length available)
Well of course your comments enticed me to watch the video.

Why do you suppose that the video was created and posted?

Was it to entertain us with how real pilots do it, or was it to seek comments like "How's my Flying"?

I just can't see how one could judge the caliber of third world airlines by a non-descript video posted on U-tub
