I believe @///AMG would hear something like “cut pass and the skipper wants to talk” after that, maybe!

Nice of my former former employer (not Endeaverrrrrrrrrr Errrrr, to be clear) to never mention this, among other things, to us.

BTW that ref is like a max 9 ref “we’re going to plaid!”

I-am-a-pirate. I do not need credentials!
I learned about it like all things I learned at OO, when a CA I was flying with reported a suspected hard landing and MX told us that we didn’t hit the 600fpm cutoff for it.

Every Guppy ref speed on a gusty day, coming over the numbers at mach jesus
Those four little brakes screaming and chattering to slow that bitch down

Riding jump on the -700 freighter is fun “oh this is what ref speeds are supposed to be”

Just wait till you find yourself in a light A319. OMG Caravans are rear ending us!
I was ferrying a 319 from PTK to DTW empty one day, pushed for managed speed and Metro tower about lost it.

Took an Airbus from LAX to GSO for MX. Just the FO and I onboard. In GSO, flaps full VLS was 109, ref spd 114 kts. Slowest Bus I’ve ever seen.

I like how after a firm/hard landing, the PF *always* takes a glance at the other pilot right after touchdown:

Just operated TAM-IAH this morning with 1/3 load of pax on a -700. Ref at flaps 30 was 116, decided to do flaps 40 for
and giggles; managed 111. As someone who hardly flies the -700 it was hard to comprehend that speed when we’re typically landing like the STS, in the stretched versions.

admittedly that was harder than I thought it was based on initial video. Going to idle at 150 feet will certainly cause bad things to happen. Does endeavor have CRJ2 still ? Would this be more of a CRJ2 style ? Wondering if they had more time in that type or something. Either way, sink rate should’ve gotten their attention.

1100 fpm is nothing, just barely above a normal rate of descent for us.....typically 700-900 fpm for a normal pass with normal headwinds. My worst pass ever, was in a heavy 5W tanker, I was the last airplane airborne (because i was the recovery tanker), pitching deck night using MOVLAS, and I got high and made a big play i shouldnt have for the deck. Didnt help this was in my 2 seat tour, and the XO was in the back seat yelling things like "KEEP IT COMING" haha. I dont know the exact rate of descent at touchdown, but it was at least 1500 fpm, probably closer to 2000. Jet was fine BTW

It’s been a while but CRJ was idle at 50’, idle at 150’ wouldn’t go well.

I really wonder what other finer points of jet flying were missing from that flight deck.

I dunno, I'm of a "judge not less thee be judged" mindset (from zero) on this one, at least as far as the C/A goes. The more I see of guys on OE (who have gotten to The Show, insofar as Dog Doo Relocation can be The Show), the more I wonder wtf possesses guys to do OE. It ain't the override, at least not here. And the stuff guys will come up with to do on short final keeps *me* awake in the bunk, and all I hafta do is sit there and watch.
