Then its possible he got too slow and got dumped by a downdraught hence why I would carry a bit more speed than VREF especially with that headwind component and shorter stopping distance. Extra bit of speed would also give a bit more control authority in a situation like that but you do not want to be holding off 6 feet up with severe down draughts around
