Boeing 737: Landings performed by modern pilots or were they taught better in the USSR

Boeing 737 airliners are considered to be among the most popular and successful in the world. The family has been in serial production since 1967. It is not surprising that during this time, designers have improved the winged machines to perfection. This is in defiance of critics of Russian airliners, who claim that there is no point in reviving Soviet models. They say that they are hopelessly outdated and not suitable for commercial use.

Boeing management proves the opposite with its 737 series. They are sure that there is no need to abandon the ideal design. Moreover, the transition to new models is not even a million-dollar, but a billion-dollar expense. That is why many civil aviation pilots fly Boeing 737. And you can see how they land on the OKandrew Planespotting Channel.

The question immediately arises: why so carelessly "slap" on the landing strip at airfields? Do the pilots really not have a sufficient level of professionalism? But here it is necessary to understand that the maximum takeoff weight of the Boeing 737 is up to 500 tons in some modifications. Accordingly, the chassis is designed for this. Only pilots of the Soviet "hardening" are indignant. They were taught to land even the heaviest transport and passenger airliners carefully and gently, without any jumping on the strip.
