Somewhat unnecessarily, the report takes pains to recount that on landing at EMA, the commander "lowered the nosewheel as gently as possible onto the runway", further reporting that the maximum de-rotation rate for the landing was -1.4°/sec.
That's equivalent to your watch's sweep second hand rotating at about a quarter its normal rate.
