based on the little I could see, that the approach was very fast, the
pilot flared very close to the surface and floated in ground effect
for a thousand feet and touched down still fast and therefore flat.
It's a common problem in flight training, and often the instructors
just let it happen. Many of them do the same thing. And the ditches or
fences at the end of the runways continue to claim airplanes.

Dan,

Not mentioned in the video, this was a "no flaps landing".

Sitting in the back seat, I couldn't see over the glareshield myself,
so I know he had a **reasonablly** good flare. Hopefully this clears
up the higher speed over the runway and account for the longer float
over the runway.

I am NOT a CFI, but from my observations, I thought he did a good job
keeping the nose off and not rushing the plane to ground. (I.E. allow
the plane to settle on it's own while bleeding the speed off)

As the video does indicate, the stall horn was sounding when the wheel
did touch terra firma.
