Thanks for all that info - very helpful. When we landed the actually landing was OK - the turbulance was in the air and the landing itself OK. Having landed in Volos many times we have always wondered why we seem to have had a disprortionate amount of uneasy landings there despie having such a long runway. e always wondered why we seemed to have such a steep descent and this explains things. As a less than enthusiastic flyer knowing the technical reason for the steeper descent really puts my mind at ease.
