When a player does a jump serve can land on the baseline or not?

I had a case tonight when a player do a jump serve and landed on the baseline I was told it was not a foot fault, is it correct?

  • Proper jump serves are performed with a jump forward into the court to decrease the distance between server and receiver. If you watch good players make a jump serve you'll probably notice that.

From FIVB rules of the game

12.4.3 At the moment of the service hit or take-off for a jump service, the server must not touch the court (the end line included) or the floor outside the service zone. After the hit, he/she may step or land outside the service zone, or inside the court.

So in the case are your writing (landing on baseline after the hit) it is not fault
