Or how about a bit of a RTTL chip in and get TC to sign it off.

A new government report into the incident in January last year says it was a result of the crew continuing their landing approach in the early hours of the morning after the aircraft had become “unstable”. The damage could have been reduced, says the report, if the co-pilot who was in control had decided to abort the landing and go around again.

She could also have handed control to the aircraft’s commander, who said in hindsight he should have gone around for another attempt at the landing. Since the landing, new rules have been introduced including only the flight’s commander landing the plane.


Well she's not done any favours to women who are accused of not being able to park has she !

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. :thumbup:

And any landing where the aircraft can be used again is perfect.

It's a write-off, so a bit less than perfect.

Much hilarity from the other RAF people there, but no-one called him out on it.
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:
