GentlemenThe first prerequisite for a "good" landing, is a good approach, meaning being on profile, on speed and touching down on the 1000ft mark, if you get a "greaser", fantastic, if not, no big deal, do it like this all the time and you will be well prepared the day you have to put this bird down on a 6000ft runway in a blizzard with max crosswind.Happy landingsPalle
