You just know I couldn't let this one go. ;D
OK; first couple of attempts at landing didn't go too well; so I loaded 'er up and tried again.
The trick to short-landing something big like the 737 isn't to get her as low and slow as possible; trying to pull out of a nose-down dive t 170kias will just stall her. You need to rotate carefully; keeping an eye on your AOA. So here we go:
Approaching the field very cautiously; everything out except spoilers:
Over the edge @ 165kias:
Flaring high to control the AoA:
Hard touchdown at runway's midpoint:
Full on the spoilers and reverse thrust; stand on the toe brakes and hang on!!!
Ran off the end of the runway; coming to a stop about 50m. past:
Whoo!
OK; next runway!!!!
