The landing was not that bad. Better hard than too late.

@theamazing39 I'm a commercial pilot, and you know, I can't begin to tell you how many pilots want to live by that statement. But unfortunately, on top of our airline bosses yelling at us to perform soft landings to ease passenger fears, we also have a duty to our passengers to not scare them in any way. So we're always trapped in trying to create a soft but safe landing.
At such airports like Madeira or Tegucigalpa, I'd definitely go for a hard landing in lieu of passenger comfort, though!

@jagara1 :) yeah it sure is amazing mate!

@MrPedoShine Thanks for the link - absolutely fantastic film of approach at Hong Kong.

@MrPedoShine 700agl hard right bank at checkerboard - more straightforward than Funchal which is turn 'into' the mountains which is where I was coming from.
Add crosswinds to either and they both become very difficult approaches.
