That should be documented in the aircraft forms... that's a hard landing if I ever saw one! If it were one of our jets, it would be grounded immediately and half the airplane pulled apart for inspection. Then again, when I fly commercial, I can see stuff on the wings that would never pass the inspections with my Air National Guard unit. Hopefully the maintenance folks did as thorough a job as we would have if one of our birds had set down that awkwardly!
