Landing in PHL Boeing 737-800

One of my flights into PHL several years ago, camera strategically wedged for great view and for those nervous passengers, there was no distraction or adverse safety factors. In other words, myself and the first officer were fully engaged in operating the aircraft. (personal disclaimer) You will hear the CAWS system in the background calling out altitudes and such. Beats working for a living, although the carrier I was flying for then went through bankruptcy and is only a shell of the company it was prior. such is the life of an airline pilot, closet full of old uniforms.

when do you start flare and retard throttles?

[sfergson727]

@FF35Pilot Depends on current conditions, but usually around thirty feet you start the round out, and retard the throttles in the flare.

@sfergson727 Thrust levers.....not throttles. :)

ATA, a once proud airline that was put to death by a bad economy, and unethical competition.

@sfergson727 unethical competition?

[sfergson727]

@ajcrw It's a long story involving a merger with America West, blocking by SWA, abd eventual dismantling by SWA.
