After an emergency landing at Ciampino airport ended flight FR4102's journey today, it seems a good time for me to comment on landings on Ryanair flights. I flew to London Luton on Friday and was appalled at the abrupt landing. It felt like the equivalent of rounding a corner at 80kmph. To add to the danger the runway was very wet and it was windy. As we approached the runway I suspected the landing would be a little on the unstable side but couldn't have expected that everyone on the plane would need to push against the seat in front on landing. Ironically, as we wondered whether the plane would stop before the end of the runway, an annoucement in true Ryanair style boomed 'Thank you for flying Ryanair, you have been on another on-time flight' (we could have dealt with the 15 second delay required for a smoother landing thanks).
Could have been a once off? Well perhaps, but the return flight landing from Luton was of a similarly speedy fashion!

I have never had a smooth Ryanair flight - in contrast my last Aer Lingus flight to Gatwick was so smoth on landing, that a scalding hot tea would have been safe in my lap.
