Ouch! He tried to flare but clearly way too late. Did you see the bounce in the flap? Terrible. That would have felt like s^%! in the cabin! How many landing fees did they charge the bloke?

An FO that was new on type? yep landing fee x 3. See the air brakes deploy and retract each time it landed. Poor bugger probably had to buy a few rounds at the bar that night.

Reminds me of that old 'snag list' you see from time to time where the pilot adds

 

aircraft lands hard on 'auto land' and the engineers response was "aircraft not fitted with auto land"

Ah yes, now that one is directly applicable to our type of flying - do not try and force an aircraft onto the ground! That nose oleo put up with a surprising amount of abuse before crying enough.

I always say to people "If you bounce, put the power on and go around". That rule works well...
