## Probable cause

The pilot's failure to maintain the proper glidepath and failure to follow the manufacturer's recommended flap setting of 40 degrees, which resulted in an undershoot short of the runway.  Factors include the runway's upslope and short length, which likely created the visual illusion of being high during the approach.
