Blimey Rainboe, think most people would have noticed those “arrivals”! As LJ and R737 suggest, looks a bit like PIO after trying to correct what could have been a slightly early flare - which actually looked OK if that had been held – runway length permitting! Given it was test-flying, it is probably hardly surprising as the guy flying it at the time probably had little time on it (even if he was a very experienced TP) so these things happen to the best. Reminds me of that A319(?) clip where the thing lands porpoising down the runway from Mains to Nose and back again several times before settling down. Still, seeing that makes me feel a bit better when I get it wrong!
