Did a 2.1g once. We discussed it and thought: "No, it wasn't that bad." so didn't report it. The subsequent telephone call begged to differ
That's the problem with some of this modern reporting stuff, it tells everyone but the pilot how hard the landing was.
I guess we're supposed to check the 'g' meter on the panel, right?
Remember how, like so many other 'safety' innovations, FOQA data harvesting and the QAR were put onboard with assurances that everything would be totally anonymous and would never be used for punitive purposes?
Cockpit cameras are coming in the customary two phase rollout process:
Phase One - Don't worry, it will never happen, ALPA will never allow it.
Phase Two - It's a done deal, our hands are tied, we had to go along with it or we would have no say in the matter.
Anyway, I'm certainly in no position to critique someone else's landing on 16R at NRT with wind from the right over the hills. I guess you could say that all that matters is the last ten feet.
