What has not been discussed here is the normal touchdown markers at 1000ft in are in fact at 500ft. After many landings here, a copilot who had never been before announced “a Playmobil runway” …. ?? What he meant was that coming from MAN with a 45m wide and 10000 ft long runway, JSI with its half sized (ish) proportions including touch down markers and consequently PAPI position, it looks exactly the same from a distance. However, there is a huge ground rush at the end!
So, at JSI, the aircraft should/will be much lower than at a standard location. This one was just on/outside the outer limits of normality. Had it been the equivalent high, if they had not balked, they probably would not have stopped before the very tight turning circle at the end.
