I think most of us would have held best glide speed for flap configuration and flared to stop 750 fpm descent below 50 ft. I still see a normal touchdown rate well below 750 fpm in the video but I know what 750 fpm profile is and it would have a mighty big splashdown. His looked normal. Look at the video. The NTSB was probably looking at his final descent before flare. Yes, he would have done better with a 737 but he was flying an Airbus and was restricted to Airbus rules. That is why I never flew the Airbus. If it aint a Boeing, I ain't going.
