The members of Delta Virtual Airlines are a skilled group - and they can prove it. Below is a list of pilots who consistently achieve the smoothest landings. This list is ordered by both average touchdown speed (which counts for 30% of the ordering) and the standard deviation of those speeds (20%), the distance from the runway threshold (30% if available) and the standard deviation of those distances (the remaining 20%).
