Funny discussion.
Remember that Ryanair has a lot of pilots flying their aircraft who have experience from previous companies.
I aim for the greaser landing depending on performance. 15 knots on the nose with 2500 meters to roll to the first exit? Yeah, do your silk landing.
Coming into Rome, pissing rain and a runway covered in rubber? I'm put it down firmly on the blocks.
Other than that the 800 is more difficult to land than the 300. The wings are flexible like plastic and at full flaps roll stability is terrible. Compared to the 300, the 800 is also very sensitive to ground effect, with frequent floaters as a result.
And last but not least, to be fair, experiencing a few "hard" landings is no reason to brand the training or competence of Ryanair pilots. By the way, the official "Ryanair" technique is word for word the one described in the Boeing FCTM. So blame Everett
