I'm sorry but I find this all a bit wierd. In 20 years of professional flying I have carried out a few g/a's but never so low as my wheels came anywhere near the ground. The only exception being when carrying out a practice g/a in the sim in cat 3b conditions. Quite simply the decision should have been made a lot earlier in the approach. If it was in cavok conditions then both atc and the pilots had full view of what was happening and one of them should have taken a positive decision rather than leaving things so late.
