This pilot is easy to identify. The enquiry MUST ask why an 'incorrect' landing technique was applied by this crew ('they touched down at the 500ft mark'). Why? What did they know or anticipate? Had they not, they would probably have over-run by 500' and we would be looking at a different accident.
Can we please stop all this discussion of '1390m' runways etc? None of it is relevant unless runway condition and LDM's are known. Boeing quote an 'at best' LDR of around 1000m for the 737NG. What IS relevant is what happened to this a/c both on 15 July and 17 July.
