Used to cheat slightly. Into the reds at 100ft, then a normal landing! Never any probs.
Any subsequent AAIB report would have highlighted:
Deliberately destabilising the approach at 100ft.
Departing from company SOPs.
Not following the manufacturer's recommended landing technique.
Poor CRM, due to the pressure deviating from SOPs puts on the F/O.

You're just lucky you never had an incident there. If you did, do you think company would have supported you - especially if it had made it into the public eye like Friday's incident has?

Please tell us you didn't have 4 reds.
