I thought only Koreans didn't know how to land jet aircraft?
Can we for once give this "it must be the nationality" noise a rest?
I have always been told to land my 737 on the main wheels first, and that means the nose of the aircraft is angled a few degrees up, not down.
One hopes that all pilots are likewise taught. (hmm, never flew a tail dragger, I'd need to review the standard techniques on that).
Yes, a lack of flair can lead to misjudged flare.
A few posts back, someone mentioned what looked like a "bunt" in the end game before touch down. If that's what happened, what was being "corrected for" right before touchdown?
