Well that's definitely one way to get yourself fired in the real world!

How?

Being feet from the edge of the runway is one.

You want to make a soft, but firm landing. Trying to grease it just results in floating over the runway longer and eats up the runway space you have available. Also, if you don't hit the runway hard enough, the spoilers that you armed may not detect your touchdown and might not deploy automatically.

Oh ok.

Great video!

[FLEX1978 373]

Oh ok.

 

Well the landing is much better than plenty of youtube video's so well done   If you do want to perfect your technique  - Don't aim for greasers, aim for the touch down zone, don't float and use up runway.

I was going to say what's already been said,

 

On the video description you said "Wow my best landing", and I'm sure you've done better than that.

 

You've landed on the right side of the centerline and too far down the runway. A nice soft touchdown is okay, but you want to "bring the aircraft down", don't float excessively.

 

I'm quoting from the FCTM by Boeing:

 

 

Do not allow the airplane to float; fly the airplane onto the runway. Do not attempt to extend the flare by increasing pitch attitude in an attempt to achieve a perfectly smooth touchdown. Do not attempt to hold the nose wheel off the runway.
