2Close made some good points on 24 Oct 2012. I agree with practically every statement, but I am intrigued by the reference to a review proceeding:
"On that point, this was not one of the reasons given by the authorities at a relatively recent legal hearing - in fact, the ONLY reason given by the authorities for denial of the removal of the restriction was the assumed inability of the pilot to be able to land an aircaft safely at night using PAPI, despite the evidence to the contrary. Needless to say, despite the overwhelming evidence in favour of the pilot's stated ability, the (internal) hearing found in favour of the authority."
Would 2 close be happy to share more details of this review with me privately (or publicly) whatever suits.
The reason is that such procedures need to be scrutinized and exposed whenever possible.
