Of course every landing is different. But they're not night and day different. Everyone agrees that no flaps are a lot different than F30 or F40 landings. Why? Speed, sink rate, and drag.


F30's ARE different than F40 landings. Like the difference between no flap and F30/F40 landings? No, of course not. But a F40 landing is not the same as a F30 landing.


Does it take some sort of crazy type of techniques, like guys used to say the 727 needed? Of course not. But an awareness that you're using a lot more thrust, so the plane will be quicker to slow and generate an increased sink rate if pitch control is less than ideal, might be worth telling a newbie.
