Default Flaps on take-off and landing

What 'inherent bounce' is that?


If you hit the ground at just the right speed, you bounce. Hit it any
harder, and you crash. Hit it more softly, and you have a nice
landing.

Definitions of inherent on the Web:

a.. built-in: existing as an essential constituent or characteristic; "the
Ptolemaic system with its built-in concept of periodicity"; "a
constitutional inability to tell the truth"
b.. implicit in(p): in the nature of something though not readily
apparent; "shortcomings inherent in our approach"; "an underlying meaning"


A bounce in not inherent in a landing. It's a mistake.
