Bruce, I need a double - extra strong amber drink after that approach!  :o

Mark is right, never try to salvage a bad approach. At 200 feet you were doing 2,000 feet per minute. You should have gotten WHOOP, WHOOP - PULL UP!

Of course I'm just nit-picken, but I sure need that drink.  8-)

Also, FYI never retract flaps or move anything while still on the runway. This was an old pilot rule so you did not move the wrong leaver and maybe retract the gear by mistake. We would always clear the runway and talk to ATC - and then we could clean-up the cockpit.
