Early on in the thread I tried to stop speculation from those who have never been there or those who have no knowledge of commercial operations, by stating the facts about its dimensions and markers on the airfield. Strangely, it has disappeared…. Probably because it was correct.
I was well trained to operate there and I trained others well. Yes this aircraft was low, but not far from the norm here. For those outraged by the lack of a go around, please suggest how putting operating criteria for airfields such as LHR onto a CatC specialised airfield would allow you to land at all? Aircraft have been going safely there for years, operated and trained well, by pilots known for their ability.
Not been yourself? The answer to one Captain who asked a trainer, known for his direct answers. “Either nobody likes you or you are crap.”

"Yes this aircraft was low, but not far from the norm here."
By your own admission as an experienced trainer, this is not the norm, albeit as you say it's 'not far from' whatever that means. As a trainer you should advocate the norm.
JSI is not the only airfield in the world with challenges and pilots who have not flown there are entitled to their opinions.
