PP - no, me humble 737 driver, but I saw the (T/Edge) damage yesterday. Quite a gouge. Iron Maiden not best pleased.......................waiting for the new release "You broke my ship".

Actually the pax and crew were 'rescued' I think that night by another 757, so no snails and garlic for them.

We discovered that nothing larger than a Sprinter van can be driven through France on a Sunday which made getting a new aileron there a challenge.

Regarding LPMA, my brief (should I find myself up that street) is a turn left to join the VOR 05 g/a track UNTIL I am into the bay on final when I would (obviously) continue right.

CMF circling g/a is, to my mind, not a 'problem' as the turn is always towards the airfield which is in relatively 'safe' terrain, and awareness of your pos based on the CH is a good backup.
