Hi!
As a Passenger, inside a plane, you have NO IDEA if the landing was "good" or "bad".
For instance, you could have a very smooth touchdown and a smooth deceleration, but the pilots landed outside the landing zone (first 1000m) of the runway, which is not standard, and makes the landing less safe, as you have shortened the runway available.
On the other hand, you could have a very bumby and erratic approach, and then a VERY hard landing, and it could have been the most safe landing possible, considering the weather conditions.
You could have a very sharp deceleration, which is much safer than a gentle one, when the runway is limited.
If you taxi from the runway to the gate, then your landing was successful.
You land, or you don't land. My goal is to land after every takeoff.
