Narrative:

Flight concluded with a harder than normal landing. Sought positive touchdown with no float due to landing runway 18 hold short runway 27L. Did not check runway analysis book for data on this (hold short runway 27L) scenario. Did check airport diagram and confirmed adequate runway (5000+ ft). Touchdown was harder than normal, but did not elicit more than wisecracks from first officer or jumpseater. Contributing factors: 1) new first officer, first day on-line following IOE. His slower than normal task accomplishment and my desire to monitor his performance reduced time available for consultation of runway analysis. 2) aircraft library obstructed by jumpseater. 3) fatigue due to early morning commute from home to chicago, and lingering effects of severe cold in head and chest (not self-medicating) combined to degrade perceptive abilities and motor coordination.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: BAE-ATP MAKES HARDER THAN NORMAL LNDG.

Narrative: FLT CONCLUDED WITH A HARDER THAN NORMAL LNDG. SOUGHT POSITIVE TOUCHDOWN WITH NO FLOAT DUE TO LNDG RWY 18 HOLD SHORT RWY 27L. DID NOT CHK RWY ANALYSIS BOOK FOR DATA ON THIS (HOLD SHORT RWY 27L) SCENARIO. DID CHK ARPT DIAGRAM AND CONFIRMED ADEQUATE RWY (5000+ FT). TOUCHDOWN WAS HARDER THAN NORMAL, BUT DID NOT ELICIT MORE THAN WISECRACKS FROM FO OR JUMPSEATER. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: 1) NEW FO, FIRST DAY ON-LINE FOLLOWING IOE. HIS SLOWER THAN NORMAL TASK ACCOMPLISHMENT AND MY DESIRE TO MONITOR HIS PERFORMANCE REDUCED TIME AVAILABLE FOR CONSULTATION OF RWY ANALYSIS. 2) ACFT LIBRARY OBSTRUCTED BY JUMPSEATER. 3) FATIGUE DUE TO EARLY MORNING COMMUTE FROM HOME TO CHICAGO, AND LINGERING EFFECTS OF SEVERE COLD IN HEAD AND CHEST (NOT SELF-MEDICATING) COMBINED TO DEGRADE PERCEPTIVE ABILITIES AND MOTOR COORD.
