How bout those missed approaches?
Reading this thread I was reminded of my experience with Spanish ATC about 6 months ago. Did some trips from Madrid to Tenerife and back. And yes, I agree, the ATC there was pretty poor. And it was downright annoying that most of the time they were speaking in Spanish during busy approach time into the airport.
But the most interesting thing to me was the published missed approach procedures for Madrid. I can't remember the specific one but it was for a landing to the north and I defy any human (non FMS) to actually fly it, LOL.
The taxi routes in Madrid are also a mind twister - maybe I am just getting too old.
