I'd been told by somebody that AK pilot had been trained to landing the aircraft at certain angle in order to make the tyre last longer....is it true? Maybe some AK pilot could help me clarify on this.... Thank you.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise 9M-AFA surely flying fine from her last landing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavin Andrew David 6 Report post Posted August 2, 2008 all pilots been trained in the same way to land the plane , no different from AK or CX or whatever it is . If airbus says that is the best way , then thats the best way ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone of them aim for a good smooth landing and in the best of circumstances will mostly achieve it. There could be a reason or two why you experienced what in your judgement were hard landings...

Sure, but there is always this thing called 'sloppiness'. Nobody is immune from it, not even pilots or surgeons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise 9M-AFA surely flying fine from her last landing. The bugger who prang 9M-AFA really dont know how to land aircraft,dont know finals tech which is taught at flight school.Also he is a bit cocky and abit arrogant,poor listenout while in flight,argued with flight instructor and also with AE when advised that his tech was wrong.had a couple of hard landings after 9M-AFA incident,me included,heard from management his days in AK is numbered.
