A3757 is quite right. Whatever happened to the ability to land within 200' of a designated spot on the runway? that was minimum commercial standard...good guys got it within six inches.

Touchdown at Vref to Vref minus 5 is acceptable...in jets anyway.

There is a reluctance to FLY THE FRIKIN PLANE...an ATP should be able to handle it...but there is so much SLOP and it is considered ok.
