The JAL GA shows across (effectively) 36 seconds of picture.
  1. First wheel touch (Right main) after 14 seconds of observation. Spoilers deploy but (as far as I can see) no reverse.
  2. Between 4 and 5 seconds later, the GA has been called as the nose lifts.
  3. There are some 10 seconds of maintaining height whilst thrust builds as (probably) throttles had been fully retarded at WOW.
  4. Some 15 seconds after first wheel touch, the nose pitches up as GA power has been fully established.
  5. The video ends before the gear starts to move, althougfh fairing doors may be moving.
From the pax perspective, it looks well handled but we have no idea what happened in the preceeding four minutes. The amount of available thrust to get them up is substantial, to say the least.
