Why are euros so afraid of visual approaches
I think visual approaches in borderline conditions in Europe are a bit more risky from the point of view that there is a very high density of large, paved runways (eg southern England) not all of which are civil, suitable or useable, in close proximity to target airports.
Also with our smaller landmass we have a very large coverage of radar due to close proximity of several busy control zones and military LARS - your mistakes can get picked up pretty quickly and tea and biks is a worrying prospect.
I know the American posters on Pprune have been getting tetchy about their status recently and wails of "America-bashing" are frequent these days (don't you have your own US version of prune or what?) but the way to alleviate that is probably not to start willy-waving about euro pilots' lack of moral fibre!!! Safety first - who's gonna argue with that?
