Was the approach poorly flown?
By my calculation the density altitude was about 4500'.
IAS across the threshold was within stabilisation criteria at target plus 7 giving about 171 TAS. The temperature was 48 C so ISA plus 33. An RNAV approach was flown and I figure the temperature error would result in a 3.4 degree approach angle. Given the turbulent conditions and tailwind changing to headwind, hot runway and visibilty only the length of the runway, I'd say landing longer than 3000' was almost a probability for the average pilot.
