it was only a theory and was meant to come away from they must have had a knackard aircraft, poor training etc etc.

Not long as such within the zone just nearer T1 than maybe the crew would have wished. It can be a tad interesting from the north at certain wind speeds.

And that end is pretty well known for being slippy as hell when wet but its not mentioned on the charts. Even in a sub 15 ton TP I have seen lost steering and the day saved with a huge blast of beta reverse at less than 15nts when bravo was shut.

So my post was more in sympathy for the crew. I have no doudt it will be down to multiple factors leading to the incident which will land on the PIC's shoulders but I for one can understand what may have got them. And by the grace of god go I after my "oh heck" moment.
