I have flown in there around 7 times twice with Jet 2 and 5 with Lufthansa. It is a challenging airport and I believe a Captain only approach and landing for which there has to have been SIM time and indeed check flights. Somebody will know far more than my humble SLF.

However I have been lucky and not had a bad landing there due to pilot skill, or the weather has been kind.

To be honest it’s been a while since I have been in an aircraft that has done a mist approached, and my last was at LHR and was due to traffic not weather.

Cheers
