Overheard in the baggage hall in Spain after a flight Captained by the late Captain Brian Fogg,which suffered a firm landing." Foggy may have been the Captain, but Compo did the landing."

Saw similar from the twitter pilots the other day along the lines of Zippy and Bungle ;-)

Passenger perception of a "hard" landing is probably as reliable as pax perception of "Severe" turbulence. In both cases it almost certainly does NOT reach the "Industry definition" of either.... That in no way trivialises their experience.... but I suspect it almost never leads to the inspections etc that would be required if literally true....
I tend to summarise this in my mind as "Most passengers have no idea how bad it could be."

Basically if you exceed a certain load factor during landing you will get a automatic load form print out, at which point there will be an engineering inspection required on the turnaround. I’ve never seen one myself (in thousands of hours on the 320 family), it really has to be very very hard to get one of them.
