Give a guy an olive branch and he uproots the whole tree.
Yes, perhaps it will be shown that the flare was over 1000m long (quite a record if you ask me) and that the ATR crew
only had a further 1000m left in which to touch down and bring the aircraft to the stop. Somehow, I doubt it.
But I really don't see why this is becoming such a big issue when the
cause of the accident was quite clearly the poor landing technique and not the decision to continue the approach because of a float on a 3200m runway.
a go around should be carried out at the point that a landing can not be achieved in the touchdown zone.
Perhaps it was the desire to comply with that general dictat that caused the PF to frantically push the nosewheel into the ground. A bit more common sense might have avoided the incident altogether.
