I was doing a check ride as an FO once and it was one of those rare days (for me at least
) where the stars align and everything is working out perfectly. The Check pilot had a rep for being a nit picking areshole but even he was having trouble finding things to complain about. It is a nice calm day with a long runway and I just grease it on exactly in the middle of the company specified recommended touch down zone.
He gives me a 2 for the landing. I sat "why" and he says "everybody gets a 2 for something when I am the check pilot" ! You got a 2 for a landing that was too smooth, there should have been a thump when the wheels touch that's the way I do it !
