Read my post again.
I was a passenger in a 747 doing a circling approach and the passengers were SCREAMING. After landing with a "successful" outcome, the pilots no doubt thought they had done a great job getting their passengers to their destination. However, I do not think the passengers had paid an entrance fee to Magic Mountain! and I do not think their ticket had qualified them for a roller coaster ride.
Passing an FAA checkride (written for a Convair) does not address passengers REACTION - and passenger reaction determines a succesful airline operation. (not pilot egos)
