Thanks for that info - in which case it might well have been about the point they selected approach flaps. Any information on their ground speed at that point? Would be interesting to calculate how close they were to Vfe1.
Also, with only one pax and possibly little luggage, CG would be at the forward end of the certified range, increasing tail-plane loading.
