Heavy landing 777

Hi a recent landing at Antigua in a 777 was very hard, and the pilot applied
the brakes really heavily, probaly in my assumption, because of the short
runway and a slight overshoot of touch down point, also if you pass the
terminal exit point i believe it would be a push back, (very expensive) as
no more exit points exist, my point is does a very heavy landing strain the
777 aircraft unduly especially the undercarriage regards Frank


If you can find a copy of the TV documentary 21st Century Jet on the
building and certification of the 777, you'll see that it's designed
to take much more severe braking than what you witnessed.
