Default [OT] Heathrow report

It's a complicated subject and requires some in-depth knowledge.
Pilots undergo significant training to understand all the
interactions
between power, flap setting, airbrakes, etc.



.... whatever, this pilot deserves great respect! I know they get a lot
of training for this sort of thing in the simulators, but it's another
'ball-game' entirely when it actually happens at the end of a long
flight from the other side of Asia! Indeed, it sounds as if the entire
crew (cabin and flight-deck) deserve a huge pat on the back.
