I’m surprised this hasn’t got more traction. I’d imagine an FDM analysis of short final approach path angle versus flare length would assist crews in understanding the pitfalls in conducting shallow approaches and the subsequent flare.
At EGJJ, most of the Airbus operators can vacate Ray 08 at D; mind you it’s not as balmy in Jersey (present UK heat wave excepted)
