This post has the potential of giving us some hard learnt experience of landing a big jet at Gib. I have read here that it may have been a pilot problem or a technical problem. It would be really valuable if the definitive answer could be posted here when it is available. My sympathies to the crew and pax whether it was a technical problem or a pilot induced one. I have in the distant past flown into Gib so I am aware of the tricky wind situation, and one of my colleagues got it a bit wrong one day and hammered a light just before the threshold (journos note - this was not a passenger ac which would aim to land further in than on the numbers at the threshold so hold your pens). I also watched with eyebrows raised a F104 Starfighter whose chute hadn't deployed flash over the road at great speed and nearly get wet at the far end.
