-4 ft/mn. It's almost as if I was hovering before touchdown
If it's stupid, but it works, it isn't stupid.

Mine was -14 with a 737, but my average is around -100. With -4, you could put down a cup of coffee attached to the weelstrut, without spilling it... :-)

Mine was around -9, but you really shouldn't touch down that lightly. It often means (but now always) the plane is floating and your touchdown point
will be too far down the runway. You need to touch as close to the start of the runway as possible in case there's a problem, such as a brake
failure. About -200 is great. If you're just plain perfect, you can touch really lightly right at the beginning of the runway, but most aren't that
on target.

I know, but my 737 brakes very hard with reverse speedbrake and auto brake 3. so i touchdown a bit later and get -105ft
my 747 dont brake that hard and the average touchdown is -250ft and its kinda harder to land smoother

I landed better at Lukla than at LAKO

Yeah, there's no way I could ever beat that! Maybe if I made a hundred approaches at LFLJ?

Last time I recall, all were positive touchdowns at Lukla 
They all need to look at the World Tour website and see some astonishing touch down rates during WT #1 and #2...some of those
drinken pilots made them at -6 ft/min with jets.

Still wondering why the real-world pilots aren't allowed to have a pint or two?

I've always said that the one area Flight Sim is better than real flying is that in flight sim you can have as many frosty brews as you want, and you
don't even have to worry about spilling them. And when you've had way too many so you can't fly for ****, your inevitable crash is hilarious instead
of a kick-off for an NTSB go-team.

Not sure if this counts, as it was a turbo-prop not a jet. Was an air-hauler flight.

Not sure if I have done better in a 747, I will have to look, but I just got 82.31 ft/mn landing at Heathrow. I know I got 40 ft/mn
in a 737 and some pretty low ones in props.
