CAG. The destination "most likely to".

Closley situated parallell runways, the "runway" currently acting as a taxiway and vice versa, offset approach procedure to the taxiway then step across to land, far from obvious situation visually, poorly marked.

Lousy ATC, lousy English, lousy procedures = high workload throughout the approach. Add a bit of inattention and it's an incident waiting to happen, imho. Try and fly this approach visually and I'd say it's almost a certainty.

I'm no great fan of Ryanair, but I feel a wee bit sorry for them. They're not the only ones who need investigation over this...
