Eastern Airways - J31/J41
I have watched many Eastern Airways landing at Humberside. Most do not touch down until half way down the runway and appear to come in quite fast, is this the normal way of landing this type of aircraft.

Due to the aircraft weight and approach speed being much lower than that of the larger jet aircraft i would say that they dont touch down until half way down the runway to save time taxying and also it helps out ATC if there are aircraft coming in behind you.
As far as the taxying speed off the runway is concerned, im not sure but i am sure someone more in the know will be able to help you out there.
