I won’t tell you it will be the “grease job” landing everyone thinks is the mark of a good landing. No. It will be somewhat firm – but not at all unpleasant
Try and ask the passengers what makes a good landing.

I have heard many passengers comment on both smooth (grease job) and firm/hard/rough landings, but none ever made any comment at all about the touch down zone

You might say that the passengers of the flight which ran off the end of the runway did not have the opportunity to complain. However I do not think there will be much risk of this happening in fine weather conditions on a runway more than twice as long as legally required (which is already factored).

Argue against this point as much as you like, but just ask the passengers, who pay our wages / salary. Some are very fearful of flying want the overall experience to be as smooth as possible.

Sure, a greaser within the zone is ideal if you can do it everytime
