| If you fly in an aircraft you take certain risks that we all take steps to minimise.
On medium/short finals, depending on conditions, you're concentrating on landing. I really think that's it. Horrifying as the Coventry incident is, it is one sad landing incident amongst hundreds and thousands of completely safe ones.
My learning from this, whether it turns out to be a factor or not, is a reminder to keep a good look out in the circuit, particularly prior to turns but I don't think I'm going to change (or be able to change) the runway focus that kicks in at about 400ft. |
