What area(s) of operation is/are noted on the disapproval form? Are
there any other notes?

Directed versus instructed: DPEs are specifically prohibited from
engaging in any instruction during a check. From the rest of the
context, I see that did not happen, but I wanted to make clear that the
examiner is to be a mere passenger for the flight. One that may only
make requests and evaluate the applicant.

You did not note any traffic or weather in your description either. Was
the applicant's landing downwind? By combining tasks an examiner could
ask to see such a landing. Was the approach unsafe in some other way?
Then the examiner could fault airport operations.

If this is an uncontrolled field, anyone may land in any direction so
long as the right of way rules are followed, traffic scan is maintained
and situational awareness is not compromised.

Since I wasn't the examiner here, I am only groping at possibilities.
