His accident report blamed the airfield (uncontrolled, non radio).

Have to take you up on this one I would blame the pilot !00% for bad piloting skills.

There is no excuse for touching down halfway down a strip, attempting to stop and going through the hedge! Thats a bad pilot. That whole procedure is in his hands and control alone.

You can touch down at your correct touchdown point regaradless of winds! that is piloting skills. No one in the tower to give you the surface winds? just check your crab angle and keep half an eye on the groundspeed shown on the GPS compared to your TAS at various points on the approach.

If the good pilot is unhappy he can always go around the bad pilot will make the wrong decision.

10540 You very much can be in IMC IFR OCAS in capable aircraft happens to me in the Citation I fly as well as to RyanAir in their 737s Low level OCAS is not just the playground of light singles and microlights.
