I heard you are indeed correct. Not rumours but true.

As for RR's planting of OZ's shining tins, did Ritz sort that out? Maybe such trainers need to be properly trained themselves before being let loose!

......But I really think we cant blame the AK pilots for sub standard operation and incidents of the years.

firstly.

-they are paid like BUS DRIVERS
-treated like BUS DRIVERS
-they are trained like BUS DRIVERS
.....

May I add:

-looks like BUS Driver,
-sound like BUS Driver,
but I'm not sure they are BUS Driver

hard landing

I have many years as a trainer on 73 and 77. One must realised between a positive landing and hard landing. Most of us may be familiar with positive landing, ie...probably between 1.5G to 1.9G. A hard landing can be 2G and above.

Any hard landing is caused by serious problem prior to that, I.E. excessive sink rate. If the flt is stabilised at the stabilisation height (some airline have different height), even with some strong cross wind (within a/c limitation), hard landing is unlikely can happen.

My opinion on the matter of 3G or more, WOW....sorry mate. Something went wrong, the clue was there from the start of the approach. The instructor failed to realised it. The F/O is a rookie, he would not have enough experience to realise what is waiting for him.

Ainako! Pinoy pilotos like BIG U S of A, so flying in 3rd world locos not so cool, eh pare? As long as you have the required ICAO licences accepttable to be validated by the Malaysia CAD, I think el cheapo AK will take you for a song.
