... again and again and again... And in this case the same Belgian operator. Hard to believe. "Jamais une fois sans sans deux?" As a recent French BEA safety report just pointed out, this happens every year. Occasionally someone dies. Not this time, and that's good. But when will crews get properly trained? Courchevel is a piece of cake... really simple. But, like everything else, only if you know what long final, short final, and touchdown should look like, and what speeds, and nose up attitude in the flare (your are landing uphill) you need to nail it within 2 Kts and 1º. Like flying an instrument approach. And if the wind's a problem you don't land. If you have a doubt, you don't land. It's that simple. Not rocket science by any any stretch of the imagination. Just basic... I repeat... basic , training, currency. Some call tit airmanship, but it's just common sense.
