Bellerophon
After landing, record the actual landing weight in the Maintenance Log using code 2899XXOO, sign it, and then leg it swiftly, to avoid
M2Dude and the boys, who somehow always managed to imply that you were responsible for anything that had gone wrong with their pride and joy since they last handed her over to you!
There were no specific airframe inspections associated with a fuel saving landing (the possibility of which EXWOK eluded to) ; the 2899XX00 log code would however trip a flag that required the landing vertical and longitudinal accelerations to be analysed on the QAR readout. (The vertical G was also locked into the memory of the AIDS management panel, and was there until the next landing). And would I or anyone within Concorde engineering blame you guys for 'bending it'?....
(Only joking everybody, the most important thing after any minor incident was for us all to sit down and have a thorough post landing chat, so that everyone was clear as to what happened, and the cause of the 'bump in the night' could be nailed and remedied ASAP).
Leg it indeed..
(chuckle).
