I don't believe an experienced pilot would carry out an approach and landing as unstable as this without going around
And yet it happens.... lets face it: humans do screw up from time to time. A gentle pull up with a little power added and a second pattern would have been a non event and easily explainable to the clients/pax. If you donīt have the backbone to do that, then....but then again we are humans....
"my" aircraft has similar ref speeds and we are based at at even slightly smaller airfield. There is no way I would have tried to plant it on with 130-140-150 knots over the THR... whatever has ridden this guy, it was the wrong decision.

My first FI drilled one thing into me: its way harder to discontinue than to go on with whatever you just do. Sit back a second an rethink your decision if it feels wrong or you`re so rushed that there are no second options.

Saved me several times. (..and is easy to say with hindsight...)
