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

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.

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

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.

EDV doesn’t operate any more -200s.
