"Instead, the aircraft descended at a steeper angle than expected and touched down short of the runway."
I understand that Air Canada is now changing their SOP's to demand their pilots be in their seats and watching the Airbus magic box fly the airplane in case the magic box gets it wrong and tries to land short...in which case the pilots are required to take over and fly it to the runway.
