Wow I am a little shocked by some of the comments, leaving the poor sods out of the equation, there is no excuse for a professional crew to have done this, if it was such a challenge for you airline boys maybe you should have a standard brief for Pahpos?

If it had been a PPL in a 150, a 8000 hour cpt in a Global you wonder boys would have ripped them a new a-hole.

This airport is not a challenge it was day VFR and it is used daily by airlines. If reading the plate or planning your arrival was not high on your agenda then you should not be up front.

Jeez guys what would you have said if the aircraft had landed on a helicopter or a guy just chasing birds or metal splattered everywhere?

This is basic airmanship and if this is considered a challenge then flying is not your vocation.

Just so you ding bats who want to critize, I fly a business jet based out of Cyprus.
