Please compare the data on
1/- the mag heading
2/- the localiser
3/- the lateral acceleration
4/- the rudder - and brake - pedal inputs
5/- the ground speed, i.e. the deceleration.

It looks to me that the airplane started skidding as early as :30, some 20 degrees to the left.
That runway was indeed very slippery !.

Another remark is the control inputs . They are coming, later on the roll from the " wrong " side, i.e the F/O's. The left side stick was left pretty much neutral after touch-down.

Final remark : the touch-down occured -even if we took the #2 glide antenna -just or before passing abeam the glide path transmitter, confirming that the HP had managed to effectively land short (the one dot low call-out ).

Just my two € cents.
