I am not an armchair expert as I actually did the job into this challenging airport. I was FNC qualified for many years on the B737. That approach and landing was firstly too long and secondly characterised by a lack of discipline. They were extremely fortunate to stop. Those with long memories will recall a horrendous run off the end by a B727 with many fatalities and by the same airline. Not much point having stabilisation criteria and a disciplined approach to landing in the tdz if you are not going to comply. I agree FNC can be challenging and I did my share of go arounds. Always take lots of fuel…
