tell me what airline you fly for (if you fly).
I am a Captain on the A320 series. Also have plenty of command time on the 737. It's not hard to work out who I fly for - there are plenty of us.

In our company, if landing flaps (not always full flaps - we are encouraged to land with less than full) are NOT SELECTED by the start of the final approach (assuming NPA) then it's tea and biccies. Even on an ILS, landing flaps must be set by 1000' AAL.

Every time you do a VOR, you need to check the offset. You simply look at the inbound course (092) and compare it to the runway (088). By a simple process of mathematics, you can deduce the offset.
It is nothing to do with interference, it's because the VOR is not on the runway centreline.

Clue: you don't land at the threshold.

Splitting hairs keeps me alive.

I'm sorry - you lost me. When you GA (go around), you are climbing.

Don't we? Do it all the time.
