Not sure I believe this happened...

Ironically, when they raised the gear, there actually was a positive rate.... After the bounce.

There must be a second condition: full thrust obtained by the engines, not just TOGA selected but with engines not spooled up!

But... a pilot should know this instinctively.
Nothing wrong with your logic. But I think the probability that this happened is very low indeed. This is not a tiger moth landing....

But bouncing... Positive rate of climb... Engines not spooled up enough.... No. Sorry. He would have put it down, surely?

Are you suggesting he got a GA command half way through a bounce???? Nonsense....

I admit I have no idea what happened here, but that seems farfetched...
