We are slaves of our perception
Rog, et al, for thought, debate.
Because we can see the flare - video, it is labeled after the fact as … (derogatory), yet this event apparently resulted in a 'safe' operation.
Safe - minimising the risk of harm, i.e. stop before the runway end using normal, predefined procedures, regulations.
What if another video was taken of a 'good' flare and touchdown, but unseen, late application of lift dump, reverse, brakes, resulted in the same outcome, the same stopping distance, the same margin of safety ?
We label only that which we see; a limitation of outcome-based safety management and hindsight.
