I stand corrected. Thankyou.
Now, having watched the analysis in the video above, I have more questions.
The 'navigator' in the jump seat tells the pilot flying to turn right, he doesn't. When he does, it's too late and results in excessive bank angle, overshooting the centreline and late correction resulting in a missed flare and hard arrival.
In my mind there should have been a go around call right after the point where the pilot doesn't follow instructions and turns late. Apparently, according to the video, this airfield has a minimum go around (missed approach) height which is someway before the threshold? So there is a point of no return? Is he saying that if you arrive at the threshold and there's an obstruction on the runway you cannot go around due to the terrain?
So many questions.
Again, not a pilot.
