Witnessed yesterday, 2 Jan 04, at ROT at about 1.30pm, the most disgracful piece of aircraft handling while landing after a sortie.
EUD (turbine fletcher or cresco) joining base inside the airfield boundary to land on grass 36 (base turn aiming at the tarmac) and touching down just across the taxiway with the wingtip within 1 meter of the ground while turning onto final.
Passengers and crew disembarking from an ATR thought the aircraft was going to hit them.
What a disgraceful example for young inexperienced pilots to witness at a controlled airfield. Does it give them the right to do the same?
Its about time some-one pulled these pilots aside and told them what plonkers they are.
