Hi Divosh, I think you have missed the part of the report that said... 'The flight crew reported that at about this time, there was turbulence and changing wind conditions'. That was 9 seconds before touch-down. In that time the speed dropped by 22 knots, which totally agrees with their statement.
What “speed dropped by 22 knots”? The wind speed? I don’t think so.
The airspeed? Given the actual wind conditions in the report I’m afraid that sort of uncorrected reduction in airspeed is most likely a handling issue, hence why the conversation is focussing on the skills of a fellow pilot. I believe that this is actually playing the ball and not the man.
