The Captain affirmed that normally a pilot in doubt is trained and conditioned to go around, because «the threat is from the ground and not the sky»
We were trained for that! And I believe it is still applicable. In case of doubt, go around
----------------------------------
Did not see report as was away during late December when published.
Difficult to disagree with Captain's assessment based on the information he had to hand and a split second to make that decision.
Not surprising that Ryanair did make an award to both Captain and FO shortly after this, it was clearly justified.
Based on the information trained for then it was the correct decision but subsequent training suggest than landing bearing in mind where they were may have been better but Captain landed the plane so it was a good landing, being able to use it again it would have been a great one but 152 lived
Well done Captain and First Officer. .
