You will not say this if someone is checking your QAR for every single flight! And they DO care where did you touch down. They will warn you in 72 hours if you don’t land within 2000ft. Plus, they will monitor your speed, altitude, track, timing of configuration, taxi speed, G-load when touch down, etc. etc. Even the pith up rate during takeoff, should be within 2.5-3.5 degree/s. If you don’t operate within their standard, you will get in trouble. Our chief pilot was fired just because he triggered PULL UP but continued to land at Queenstown (NZQN), even though it was perfect VMC outside. Moreover, we don’t have a lot of flights during pandemic. So, everyone is keeping eyes on you when you fly out. And our boss is trying all his best to find a excuse to fire some one to save money. Nobody want get **** during this tough time.
Other than that, I do agree going visual is the easiest way. But I insist it is not always the safest way. If I have any doubt, I will find the regulation, and obey the regulation. Fly like a lawyer, not a cowboy. I think this is the best way to protect myself and my career during these days. That’s why I am asking here.
