Faro "dangerous"? Huh? Sounds like the media are tipping back some high-octane home-brew before writing ...but we all know sensationalism sells....sigh...
The worst thing I found about Faro was operating into the low sun, but that happens twice a day at every east-west runway - no fault of Faro's! (Albeit a non-precision approach)
Good turns there. Polite handlers, fuelers, etc...
(Of course there may be legit reasons for the media story - all my comments are my opinion. Anyone from Aeroporto de Faro or the Portugal Civil Aviation Authority care to comment?)
