pilots fly them, just why two virtually identical commercial airliners will come in either very fast or noticeably much slower. The fuel supply/weight parameters you described and AOA or HUD are more related to the complex skills you had landing all the planes you flew.

I guess if I take what you said and put it in simple terms a non-pilot would get, a fuel-laden plane is heavier than a plane with less fuel weight so it lands slower. That about right?
