Narrative:

While on approach runway 30L sjc, about 7 mi out we (aircraft X) were advised of opposing traffic on 'flight check' (FAA flight check) runway 12R, 8 mi out. As we were at the locator middle marker when we could southeast the aircraft (flight check) (aircraft Y) on final. As we touched down, the aircraft (flight check) made a low approach at 100-200 ft down the runway, breaking off left (to our right) in front of us. My concern was where were we supposed to go if we balked the landing? Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter called the tower supervisor to register his concern with the incident. The reporter stated he was task saturated until touchdown, not being completely aware of the first officer's communications with the tower during the event. At touchdown, the reporter stated he looked up and seeing the FAA aircraft at the opposite end of the runway, executing a go around, was momentarily startled. In his conversation with the tower supervisor, the reporter questioned the flight check aircraft's proximity, asking what were the options he (the controller) had if he was required to execute a missed approach. The reporter advised that he was not completely happy with the supervisor's reasoning, but since all worked out, this was mostly a 'what if' exercise.
