I note that the phrase 'short landing' seems to be used a lot. There is no such thing. The approach is set up to touch down at the 1500ft point into the runway. Same for all approaches. The ac will be coming in very light, no pax/freight and little fuel. This actually makes it more tricky to land, as liable to 'float' in the flare. Great job done in all the videos I've seen here.

The landing was literally a short landing even to a full stop.
