Flying involves continual judgement in uncertain conditions.

Above, above ?
Categories: accident / incident; safe / unsafe.
Black and white thinking, this does not represent the real world where uncertainties have to be judged with knowledge.
Why no ‘not an issue’ category - the crew acted as might be expected.

Without clarifying information, this landing could be a non event, normal operational variability.
It might be better judged with situational intent; assuming a lower altitude than that designed by the runway geometry - did the crew understand the position, was it being corrected - good adaptation.
Understanding but no adaptation, misjudged course of action.
Understood the situation, but as required by training - procedures, as planned.
Did not understand the situation, a weakness in situation awareness, … which part, why.

We don't know, and whatever we hypothesise it is unlikely that our understanding will improve, except a hope of the acceptance of uncertainty in operations and the need for a Safety-II mindset.

Flying involves continual judgement in uncertain conditions.

Humans strive to do their best in situations as understood at that time, not as recorded by video or by armchair analysis.
