In the report.


The airplane appeared to be coming in faster than usual for a small plane and according to the
windsock beside the runway; the plane was landing with the wind not against it.


Witness statement would seem to be credible if the plane had a
tailwind.

Yeah, I saw that as well as it being a direct Xwind for runway 9 per
ASOS which seems to conflict the witness report of seeing the windsock
running the same direction of the runway.
