Sorry HC but I think you’re being naive here. You can’t just take exactly the same circumstances. It is the principle that matters. The wx could easily have been say 100ft base and 300m vis 1 mile out. Or even on the deck. Without VS monitoring and a high ROD they’d be in the sea. All the time pilots are allowed to be pilots, utilising judgment and skill, there will be the potential for mistakes and accidents if things are not done properly.
Thanks Crab! 👍
