B744 was a A300-600
The Aicraft in question was a A360, VIS are not allowed in KIX, you can do them elsewhere. I dont want to say if you can do them.
seat 0A: you cannot immagine what the CASA insists in some cases. That is part of the culture and innovation in a lot of cases is blocked with the excuse safety. The land of morning calm.... the culture does not accept changes in any direction, only if ordered from the top. Who is top? The president, the chairman or God??.
Kaptin M: the F/O shouted 500 feet... stabilezed... sound like "still alive" sometimes....
The complete incident is sad at all. The higher management still does not accept the fact that there is still a problem to be solved. The saftey bonus got paid recently but there was a lot of luck involved and that can be used up one day.
