I agree. He flared high, levelled off. The speed decreased and it dropped in. One needs to be ready for immediate power in such a situation, probably more so with aircraft susceptible to tailstikes(which the -72 is). Power to reduce the rate of descent or go-around. From memory, we had a pitch call at a certain nose-up attitude in the flare on this type and one got quite close to it for a normal flare.
