Captains,

I had some fun in the 727-100F the other night and used Action! to record in 1080p that I will post to Youtube.

I took the Old FedEx bird from Denver to Los Angeles and executed some practice approaches once there.  Something that bothered me was bouncing the landing.  The first landing was a greaser and I took off to make my first practice approach.  I pulled the power on that old 100 that had a full payload and hit firmly on the runway, pulled back a bit and then achieved a second landing. The third approach i was learned a bit more and hadn't hit so hard but I still bounced.

I realized i should mever pull power until in the flare and noticed i was out of elevator movement when truing to flare because I pulled the power too soon resulting in a hard landing.  I find the 727 really needs to be stuck at approach speed right until wheels touch... just love the bird and love flying it even more.
