Something doesn't add up. Runway 22 is only used for GA traffic. Either the wrong runway was given in post 1 or they made a visual approach (unlikely)to the wrong runway.
It really is annoying when people make postings like this. The author clearly has no idea what they are talking about making such absolute statements such "is only used for GA traffic" etc. Rwy 22 is longer than a lot of runways that are used as standard for aircraft larger than 737/A320 and is used when required by atc or especially during very strong southwesterly winds (no ILS on 24 only circling). If you are just going to make things up don't bother as plenty of people are a bit more familiar with operations at Schiphol than you are and your ignorance will show you up!
