YFB is not difficult to land in under the conditions that day.
It is informative to note in the still photos of the approach the Trailing Edge Right rudder angle on the Triple, even down to the flare. He was carrying significant power on the RH engine all the way but obviously had Vref nailed as the a/c floated very little. Possibly an Autoland?

Nice work, Swiss..
