Don't panic
A2QFI, I could see you had your eye shades on and was listening to whale music on your Bose Noise cancelling headphones.
I think the rule of thumb is:
- If it looks like a hard landing - but it isn't = in here (or Spotters) so that we can snicker and talk about worse landings wot we have known.
- If it really WAS a hard landing and the a/c is damaged = in T&N and let the drivers snicker and talk about worse landings wot they have known.
