I like to use the word "rotate" more than "flare". Flare always made my students want to yank back for the stars. A jet is just heavier but yes it is different. I just think we often forget about that after we get use to it. Don't agree? Go jump in a Cessna after spending a year in a jet and watch where all your finesse went.

Landing in Syracuse = ugh
I don't know jets, but on the second Portland landing the instructor's advice not to worry about those thrust reversers "until we're on the ground" seemed sensible

I wonder if they put that much effort into learning and practicing procedures.....


10 years from now....
