Sapeera for the record I have done my fair share on aircraft with no GPS/INS/IRS and flown into airfields which are purely VFR based.These days I don't think IC flies into any airfield which does not have a instrument let down procedure so I would appreciate it if you can tell which airfield did you sit for the approach.About the Kandahar hijack , the captain lined up on a road initially....he went by instinct...this was because the ATC refused clearance and switched off the lights.When the ATC realized what was about to happen , they switched on the lights and the captain realized where he was and landed.The FE never bled....it was Rupen Katyal that bled and eventually died...throw me the story , I'll give you the facts my friend
