A firm touchdown at 1000' may not get you any attaboys from anybody behind the door, but it will get a positive comment from me.
If we strive to touchdown at 1000' on each and every landing, when the time comes where we really, really need to we know we can because we do it every day. Do I try to touchdown at 1000' feet on every landing, yup, am I successful doing that on every landing nope, so I keep practicing.
1000 ft touch down subject. Some history. A former Boeing instructor pilot joined our company in 1976. He had flown during WW2. We operated into Pacific islands with unsealed and sealed coral runways between 4500 ft and 6000 ft length. All slippery after heavy local rain. The Boeing instructor would land quite hard right on the 1000 ft markers every time. Then full reverse.
Passengers often complained about his landings, but he countered by saying that at Boeing, pilots from third world countries frequently underwent 737 type ratings; including on the real aircraft as well as simulators. Firm, little flare but firm consistent accurate touch downs on the 1000 ft markers was Boeing policy; especially as flying competency varied widely among foreign crews.
