The VOR approach is 4° offset, but at minimums you will be roughly on the centreline. That's why it's offset. And what on earth is "tucking in"?

Oh dear. Landing flaps are set (normally) by 1000' AAL.

The impact point is 1600m from the TDZ.

MDA is 550' (288' AAL), not 360.

Look at high ROD due to calm conditions
An Airbus flies a "flight path angle". It's constant (set by the pilots) and does not vary with wind or aircraft speed.

I'm going to have a guess here: not a pilot.
