LMFAO, I think we're on the same page here so not sure what you're having a go at me for. 20 years as a professional and you just sign up on here and start having a go at everyone? Professional seems to be by trade only...

FWIW, I know exactly what its like with the easterlies at that time of night in the summer months in Perth - it's certainly not pretty. Agree with the comments that the stable approach criteria needs to be adapted to suit the conditions. Brief it prior and all is good. As to whether it was a good decision to try and approach in the first place? Well who knows, but plenty of questions to ask the 6 other aircraft as well.

I'm with you and it annoys me armchair experts carry on, but I guess we should have expected it on this topic.

To the guys (or gals) on this flight and without knowing anything other than whats been put on here...good job!
