That was not the plan as they did not keep a stable power setting until flare height but retarded the thrust levers below flight idle above 100 feet. These guys where winging it and pushing their luck big time, a luck which run out on them. The choices made by the commander where wrong and that cannot be glossed over. The only way this accident will not be repeated is if pilots in small unresourced outfits such at this one realize that going off piste for the sake of "getting the job done" is not worth loosing your life over. Procedures have a safety margin for a reason.
