To me that isn't a hard landing depends what speed were you doing

I'm a little confused by your reply, so I'll offer a more clear one: Technically touching down in the -500 to -600 ft/min range is a pretty rough landing. Keep in mind that -600ft/min has the aircraft dropping at 10 FEET PER SECOND! Quite a fast descent when landing if you think about it! However, realistically you shouldn't have any problems (at least mechanically with the aircraft) if your touchdown occurs at less than -1000ft/min. Any harder than that, and you risk seriously damaging the aircraft. Normally, a touchdown will occur at a rate of -100 to -300ft/min (it's hard to get an EXACT number in the real world... we don't have a "End of Flight report" like FSP does  ) So to answer your question; yes, -534 ft/min is a hard landing (the PAX would complain about this sort of landing). I just looked at your post, and noticed you wrote -534ft/second as your landing rate. I hope you meant -534ft/minute...

-400 to -600ft/second? You might wanna check what country you're in when you're on the ground on the OTHER
SIDE OF THE WORLD!

Whats your average FPM? Mine is, or rather, was, 157fpm out of 132 flights. But since getting this, er, new plane....it's going down hill.
