Touchdown

[MisterC]

I fly sometimes to altiports (in real life) and i agree the touchdown zone is more important than vertical speed at
touchdown.

On short strips, and no need to fly an airliner, it's the case in GA too, landings are often "hard" because the impact
point is the most
important. I don't fly airliners, but i have already landed at Lyon Brindas

and believe me, 390 meters available for landing is not that
much ! Especially when you're flying a plane given for 600 meters for landing !

But i know very good pilots that can put the airplane smoothly (ie with no impact sensation), exactly at the right
place...
