Lost the Touch. ?

822 overshoots since Chek Lap Kok opened in 1998. [SCMP today]. Kai Tak with its 50 years of mainstream operations would not have a record even close to that. Am I being unkind in thinking you gents are loosing [have lost] the touch. I certainly hope thats not the case but that black hole between disconnecting the autopilot and waiting for help to land [ from the radio altimeter calls] might be very real to some. Perhaps those switched on Germans have got it right by insisting on a high degree of hand flying.` 828a
