I agree with you 100%. Much happier with 03, but even then there is a pretty "solid" over-run.

If you look in the photo with SSK's post there is a windsock on the extreme left which shows a crosswind from the west with perhaps a 40 degree headwind component for 21.

Can't tell the speed but on 03 this would have been a quatering tailwing from the left at a max of 10 kts. 03 also has an uphill slope for landing....

I don't know any more about this accident but I would consider Arrecife a "sporting" approach on 21 at the best of times.....
