Good landing Good Jet Tough Conditions No APC/PIO evident

Good landing. Very very good jet. Tough Conditions. No APC/PIO was obvious or evident. From control surface positions, rates, and phase angle, it appears the late flare wing drop was probably both gust and momentary lateral vector shear drift induced. That happens. Been there done that in similar or worse conditions, and occasionally even with one shut down for testing. This jet has most excellent control capability, arguably the best in the industry, and can handle it. Good preparation and training too, and perhaps lots of practical experience also was evident. Nice job to the crew.
