Clearly, RYRNick and Neplusultra are wind up merchants. Several professional pilots have given quite detailed explanations about how passenger jets land dependent on type, weather and runway. To then continue to argue with them is laughable, how the hell can you tell if a jet is approaching the runway at 180mph and not a 150mph ? Answer = you can't. Also, by indulging in such muppetry you make it less likely that a pilot will answer a reasonable question posed by a passenger - such as the one posed by the gentleman concerning winglets.
