Having used this airport on many occasions flying a B738 I simply cant understand why that Barbie jet needed to be so low, my initial reaction is the image is distorted by distance use of a telephoto lens or photoshop.

Without doubt the airfield has its challenges especially the runway uphill gradient my give the illusion of being high on the approach but I would expect this to be covered in the briefing for the airfield and accounted for when flying the approach.

With the right amount of respect and hand flying skills the airfield is safe to use as long as it is approached with the attitude that if the picture does not look right you go around and make another approach.
