We have been going on and on about unstable approaches for (at least) twenty years yet we still continue to see them in the headlines .... and many more that didn't make it to the front page. Virtually all airlines have a FDM program so why isn't this alone effective in preventing these extremes? There are some places where you are almost always going to get set up for a slam-dunk .... could safety departments become complacent about data from airports like SFO?
