Hello 100% (are you really 100%?)
tell me what airline you fly for (if you fly). You select landing flaps (ie full flaps to a pilot) before committing to land? Hellloooo?

The offset is notammed and due to signal interference. If the VOR is offset 4 degrees it would say it on the chart. The chart does not say that.

Impact point is reported at 500 meters. I dont know where you get your facts from.

The NDB approach, if he was on NDB is 360. 550 ft for a VOR app would have still placed the impact point at about the same crash position. Dont split hairs

The high ROD of descent I was referring to is in the case of the pilot flying manual in GA. There is a reason why we dont land with a tailwind.

Compressor stall is when you apply power suddenly and the blades do just what is described: stall!. A basic jet engine feature which I am sure even Airbus hasnt cured.

Tuck in: make a corrective final manuever to get on the runway, but I am sure you are just being cantankerous on this one.
