Im not trying to patronise you, i dont know what your background is, and i dont know VLM SOPs, but i would presume that they would have to have a stabilised approach at around 500 feet in order to continue with the landing. Leaving it to the last minute and "throwing it on the deck" is not condusive to safe commercial operation. It just may have seemed a little agricultural.
