From the video:


All three approaches are not "ideal" for these conditions....
Although it is a good idea to keep the approach a little (!) bit steeper than a normal approach, one should keep the speed just a notch above that of a normal landing.....none of the three is doing that.

What is the reason for "rushing in" of the third one?
"Tactical scenario"?
The whole Infil seems to take ages....so it looks like the third pilot tried to "come in quick" (because itīs an exercise....you know....quickquickquick....)

If i canīt find good reference, i ask the guys on the ground to drop something (like a heavy rucksack) that will do the job....even a smoke grenade does two jobs: Showing me exactly where the wind is coming from (in these conditions, even 1 kt wind can make the difference-if it is coming from the front, or from the back), and it burns a nice, dark hole in the snow...

(Because: Itīs an EXERCISE.......thatīs why we TRAIN.....to AVOID making mistakes....to FIND out our limits...itīs not for showing how "Top Gun" we are already....)
