MonarchA330: Any reason it landed half way down the runway? Did they mean to do that or was it just the noraml reasons for a floated landing?
A bit later I saw a replay from the camera mounted at the far end of the runway. It looked like she was descending at a constant rate, then flared at whatever feet height, and then descended at a much reduced but constant rate to touchdown.

I don't know anything about flying these aircraft, but to this untrained eye it looked like it was intentional. (In my business, where impressions are just about everything, that's good enough for me ... )
