Seven years on the B727 and four on the MD80.


Idle thrust at touchdown was the flight manual procedure and, to reiterate, unless power was required to correct a high sink rate always resulted in a better landing.


Some may disagree but these were the guys I saw porpoising down the runway with their experimental homemade techniques.


They never got a predictable result but they used up a lot of runway believing in a myth these Aircraft could not be landed like any other jet transport.
