Do you know what runway this came in on?..Saw a plane in the pattern over lochbuie that looked oddly pitched setting up for one of the N-S runways

The Airbus landed on 16R (so approach from the North) per the comms I heard. I'm no pilot, but I have to think 16R/34L is your best choice if your flaps are inop (16,000 ft long).

Did he have his nose up? If so, maybe he was trying to bleed off some speed...
