A bit late on the round out (flair) Hoskins…

Any pilot reading this post who says they haven't ever planted it are lying or haven't been flying long enough… IMHO.. Nobody is infallible.

Altho, the wrinkling of the fuselage skin aft of the reg mark might well require a touch of body filler.

Nobody hurt I'm very glad to say.

Out of interest, I did what I considered a very firm landing a few years ago into a Greek island. landing distance/wind/weather was not a factor, I was just very tired, and the RADALT CALLOUT didn't call out! Glad to say the FO shouted out!

Late flair, and not too bad, but enough to make me ask the FMGC about a load 15.
