Quite valid points, SLF3, but then again, for how many years has it been positively known by jet transport operators worldwide, that un-stabilized approaches can quite easily lead to accidents?
I personally learned this first hand at PanAmerican B707 training in 1973....over thirty years ago.
Yet, at AA, they have demonstrated a unique ability of conducting these very same approaches...time after time.
One wonders just how many times some of their pilots have gotten away with these, without incident.
Time for a detailed safety audit...pronto, me thinks.
