This guy is just a cowboy. Load alleviation system or no, he has to be within flap speed by the point the last bit of flap goes down just based on wing AOA.
My take is that we are seeing his personal technique for braking a rate of descent. Only a couple of seconds between the sound of the flap drive and the spoilers coming up.
Says volumes about that airline's safety culture.
