1. A method for reporting data concerning a landing of an aircraft, comprising:

  • receiving a respective set of data samples for each of a set of flight parameters, the data samples in each data sample set being received at different times during a time interval that starts prior to and ends subsequent to touchdown of said aircraft;

    deriving a series of main gear sink rate values from data sample sets of a subset of said flight parameters during said time interval, each main gear sink rate value being a function of the data samples for said subset of said flight parameters corresponding to a respective time;

    determining whether a trigger event has occurred;

    collecting at least said data sample sets of said subset of said flight parameters acquired during said time interval and said main gear sink rate values derived during said time interval in response to occurrence of said trigger event; and

    sending said collected data sample sets and main gear sink rate values to an output device in a report format.
