All the drama about SFO being tricky. Please tell me what's so tricky about it?
At the end of a long haul segment? That happens hundreds or thousands of times a day across the world.
Transition pilot getting IOE? Happens every day, hundreds or thousands of times daily.
New TRI/LTCA/CKA? Happens monthly, and maybe weekly, at major airlines.
At the end of the descent is an approach. In this case a visual approach and an FMC could be used for basic(distance to touchdown...300' per mile calculation) or more advanced guidance (RNAV, VNAV, etc). And the approach ands at pavement.
Let's not make SFO into something it hasn't. The hardest part of flying into SFO is trying to take the entire view in, it's that beautiful.
