Ducking below PAPI and GS normally makes a shallower approach, touching down later and leaving less space to stop...
However, it was not the case here, since the aircraft was never in the landing configuration in the first place.
Flying along the white tower it should have been already in a steady flap 5 transition to flap 15 landing gear down....
I can not understand why they did not abort this approach!
Clearly there is really something wrong with AMC standards and or training!
I wonder what the HCAA is going to do about this?? And finally if it is not time to put this outfit on the EU-Blacklist!

I hope ASTRA very soon quits the wet-lease, before they get in real trouble!
