Very interesting. I wonder if that applies to the A330 as well?
The quoted report talks of a thrust increase just before landing, and I wonder if perhaps the F/O - who sounds inexperienced - did not retard the thrust levers in the flare? If the thrust levers are left in the CLB gate too long, there will be a power increase as the A/THR tries to maintain Vapp, and this can cause a long float.
