thought
the tupolov 204 (considered broadley equivilent to the Boeing 757 or so) was virtually empty.
as many pilots know, such a lightly loaded plane demands extra attention for landing as it doesn't settle in for landing as a normally loaded plane. Indeed I recall the expression: we were so light that someone had to shoot us down to get it to stop floating the runway away.
in other words, too fast, too light, too long. add to this a slick runway (?) and it wold have been a demanding approach even with light winds and a good high ceiling.
