flare?
mentions earlier in this thread that SOP for A320 ditch is to land with 11 degrees aoa? looks less on the video clip. presumably on the tail touching the water at that point pic applies full elevator and essentially stalls exactly on contact with the surface in order to reduce groundspeed to a minimum and assuming on emerg gen and tail in the water he has any controll authority left. either way its a hell of a put down!
