Default RE: bad landing

Pete:

If the jet porpoises in the air only on final near the pavement then it must be "ground effect" and some interaction with some airfoil (like flaps, etc. as others have suggested and maybe airspeed) . If flaps were the issue, I would think the only way to be sure would be to land with varying degree of flaps to see if that cures the problem.
