Sorry people, as a 5000 hr flight instructor I have to strongly disagree. The approach was appalling. To be that high on profile in an aircraft with gobs of drag available from the flaps is very very poor. No side slip or anything used to get on the ground at the 1/3 touchdown aimpoint on the runway is unforgivable. It's easy to achieve if you have the right technique. You can make the Cessna descend like a bag of sand. To be landing that far into the runway, like at the very end is incompetent. I have taught this scanario hundreds of times, both in the Cessna and Warrior which has lots less drag available. I imagne a proficiency check and remedial training with the Chief Instructor of her flying school will be on the cards. This was not well handled in any way
