  • Wow he didn't even grease it!!

  • My ass if they actually needed those thrust reversers... They landed at like 105 anyway... Haha

  • yup. agreed.  some nose high attitude there. bit overdone. still, 'defaultyuser' above has it right. regionals are chock full of 'newbies. this could have been

    ( and most probably was......) the FO's leg and landing.

    lol! hell, if he'd have just added power at that attitude with mains down, aircraft would probably have begun a rotation and leapt back into the air again. ( retracting Spoilers first, of course) nice observation.

  • Glad I am taking United Express operated by Skywest and not Mesa!

  • @crapper1 ya true

  • @adamgamedude if the VSI is high enough it would do that however ive seen a small plane do the same at the local airfield tho he put a skid plate there cause he said it happens often with students

  • @crapper1 if the tail hits the whole tail bounces off the ground and the nose probably will bounch a couple times

  • that woulda been rly ugly if the tail touched!

  • I wonder if that the pilot I had coming into Chicago last week. Did the same thing. Has a real nice soft landing but felt like the plane was straight up.
