This thread is more absurd than the incident supposedly under discussion at Paro, Bhutan ( just to differentiate it from the incident at Wamena, for the confused )

I'm ROTFLMAO - but not at the video.
Awful lot of "paper airplane" pilots posting here, who have no clue where or what Paro is, and why it requires 72 pages of airport information and approach/landing procedures.
Valley approaches? Missed approaches or go-arounds? Imagine two or three cobras squirming around in a basket.
"Stable at 1000 feet" for either runway at PQVR would put one
inside a mountain - both runways
require manuevering, including steep turns, for approach and alignment on short final (1 mile or so, down to 300-500 ft above airport).

Last I heard, nothing larger than A319 is allowed into Paro, at least carrying pax. A 737 carrying freight and on a mercy mission (vaccine) no doubt got a dispensation.
And in the end, all that really happened was the PF forgot to flare. or got caught in a downdraft (10000 feet of rock overhead can do that.)
