Here, an Airbus A321 is forced to go around on first landing attempt, then is successful on second attempt - but not without a further nudge from the atmosphere.

Descend to runway at an angle, kick the rudder as the tyres kiss the ground. Seems fairly standard.

Not an A321, probably a B737-800.

I would expect a runway to be flatter.

Over that distance it's pretty flat.
