360 feet per minute causes the need for a heavy landing inspection on a scarebus. 200 feet per minute is pretty firm. When doing zero flight time in the sim, extra practice would be required if you were to thump them in at that rate (sim panel shows distance from threshold, centre line and ROD at touchdown).
Have checked the on board CMS after a firm landing and have seen 150 to 190 feet per min, not sure how accurate that is though.

Was lucky enough to have a few back seat rides in the miracle. Hats off to those who flew them, as I was still at the departure threshold at mission end.
