Hard
BigJoe,
I agree with that statement and will add that my companies aircraft will auto print a report if the parameters are exceeded.
An OW aircraft is easy to determine but a Hard Landing is just how your bottom fits into the seat and is very individual when being reported.
With an auto report the engineers have the correct vert speeds at touchdown and can carry out the ATA 5 phase inspections accordingly.
We carry a QAR disc that will be removed at mainbase for deeper analysis as routine monitoring.
Not read any accumalation of events and certainly no deferals.
