See video of a hard(ish) landing at:
http://www.flightlevel350.com/viewer.php?id=4137

Did this guy land a bit short of the runway or was his glidepath a bit
too shallow? Something else? It's hard to tell from the video but maybe
some PA-32 drivers can give some insight. Or maybe someone fluent in
French can translate what was said as a comment.


I've seen that landing early in my training.

I would get into a dumb approach trim-setup where the airspeed keeps
bleeding off instead of staying steady. At the threshold, the airspeed is
down to stall...pulling back makes the horn go louder, but it doesn't really
flare, just sort of plops onto the runway on all three.
