Bilbao is an 'interesting' airfield to operate into, as are various others. I have on been there on various occasions in the last 20 years.

Stills or single frame photos (if you prefer) do not tell the whole story. The dynamics on any approach can vary significantly from one second to the next, and what seems stable one second can suddenly become unstable.

They require instantaneous decisions by the flight crew as to the best course of action, so before anyone 'critisizes' any decisions made by a flight crew, they should be aware of all factors involved (very unlikely), and the opions considered (also unlikely).
