Whatever, I'd be happy to be a passenger in anyhing where he was PIC.
He does hold a glider rating, I saw him mentioning it during an interview on a local TV station.
Looking at the video, there is a glimpse of the airspeed indicator in sunlight that shows 105-110 knots while crossing the runway threshold (I took a screen capture and contrast enhanced to be able to read it). So his final approach was indeed flat but he had plenty of energy to bleed off.
