Touchdown position looks reasonable enough, but full reverse selected very late. Hard to see what flap has been used for the landing.
And, hopefully, autobrakes to Max. On some A310's the top square button is guarded, on others it isn't as I recall. Inadvertently select Max brake landing with a light aircraft on a dry runway and any economy pax with loose seatbelts get upgrades to the front cabin for the taxi in.

Having said that, some 'bus operators always used autobrakes, others never did in my experience.

Looks like the spoilers did deploy in the video.
