I think you’re spot on. It might be handy that landing a plane always have to finish with contact on ground/surface/whatever. The parachutes pilots are using seems to be for emergency, not for regular landing. In case of using these parachutes, the plane, at the end, be ‘to low’ as well for his well-being. So, one might consider, the ‘to low’ aspect of this all might be matter of circumstances. 😊

My Dad was stationed at Coningsby in the late 60's. Me and my mates used to sit on the crash gates, just yards from the runway, We were only eight year olds. We would watch Vulcans, Victors, Lightnings and Phantoms landing and taking off. Just imagine being 100 feet away from a Vulcan taking off. As mischievous lads we would sneak around the base and go places we shouldn't go. What an adventure. I will never forget my childhood in the RAF.
