Default Heavy landing 777

wrote

The 777 landing gear are designed to take a lot of stress. The landing
you describe does not sound like a big deal...


As a matter of fact, all jet transports are designed for touchdown
at a 600 fpm sink rate at maximum landing weight and 360 fpm at
maximum takeoff weight, but I've never really tested the limits. :-)
