Our airline does use FOQA. The only good I have ever heard about from it was a great deal of steep (high rate of descent) approaches at one particular airport...so the company called ATC to make things work better and it did. (Myrtle Beach)...but we don't even fly there anymore.



Now I have a big, tough question. Are the runway lights at this airport the standard height above the runway?

And, we should all know that at night, we ''flare'' where the runway edge lights are...and not at the runway itself...so, in effect, we are flaring too high at night...unless we make a concerted effort not to.

Could the crew have been mis cued becaue of the above?
