Thank you for the reply. Just out of curiosity, if I may, what is your involvement with/how frequently do you visit PRG?

I must say I am convinced there's gonna be an accident, be it a tail strike on landing perhaps. I have recently flown to Chania/Souda AB/CHQ. Landed on taxiway that serves as a replacement RWY and has significantly shifted threshold. Superbly published, temp. PAPI, temp. VOR/D procedure recalculated to give you 3° to touchdown, bunch of NOTAMs even alerting for runway width 30m and possible flare illusions. The Greek did their homework really well and paved the way for the safest possible course of operations. Quite unlike at my home town.
