JetBlue Airbus A220-300 SLAMMER into Key West (EYW)

[@texasabbott]

The A220-300 is an incredible shortfield aircraft. It has a robust, taller landing gear that can swallow faster sink rates needed for shorter runways and would give you that aircraft-carrier type landing at demanding airports.

Sometimes you need a firmer touchdown: high crosswind, wet runway, short runway. Any time you need good traction for braking as soon as your wheels are touching. You don't want to be skidding sideways on a slippery or short runway right after you touch down.

EYW has a 5000 foot long runway so commercial airliners have to land hard there

They forgot to take the butter out of the fridge before trying to spread it 😂

@@oluwawamirionakoya3287They cant the runway to to short they have yo land as soon as possible and as hard as possible to get traction for brakes

Airliners flying to KEYW will most likely always slam down on the landing, its a very short runway.

I love key West landings.

Soon to be underwater

Oh please! that wasn't that hard of a landing, Try landing at CHICAGO MIDWAY !

Kinda Ryanairish because if the pilot slammed the plane down on the runway he doesn't know how manage the soead level or the throttle
