Looks like he banked right in the flare, planting the right main pretty hard. Tough to really tell if they had too much sink rate. Looked fairly normal. I guess the FDR will know.

The Q doesn't have inflight beta, and the Q is completely different to land than the 100/200/300. It has a very low tail strike angle making it quite a challenge, and many landings land up being "planters" on these birds.
