SPAACARS samples the landing rate at regular intervals and keeps the final value when it detects a landing. It's possible that you pulled up in the short time span between samplings and touchdown and ended up with a softer landing than indicated by SPAACARS. SPAACARS cannot sample after the landing of course because the landing rate is 0 then. It also must retain the last sample taken when wheels-down is detected to avoid detecting bounce as the landing rate. The more sampling SPAACARS does, the more resource intensive. This seems to be a workable arrangement if you don't rocket to the ground with an extreme flare at touchdown.
It's the best I could do at the time I wrote the program.
