@scifi : I hear what you say , true of course, but I was trying to say is that they were no newbees , both were ATPLs with thousands of hours and landed visual a ATR72 multiple times before , also recently at this new airport , since Yeti ATRs are mainly doing this route. So unlikely to make basic mistakes. As Vilas said . banking 30 degrees is not an issue in any type if you aircraft is properly configured at the right speed.

Now the verry insteresting recommendations posted by grizzled are very interesting , if they are all refering to the Yeti Crash, , I am not sure as they mix STOL and Heavy airraft Ops . But if hey are, they would point at 2 other issues : fatigue and maintenance. . That, if indeed they are based on the Yeti preliminary investigation , would explain a lot more . But these are only leaked recomendations .. Waiting for the real preliminary to extrapolate further.
