asiana crash and the visual trap

Here is a link to a little piece written by Perry Thomas.

The Visual Trap

I just wonder in accepting a visual approach whether the crew breached company SOP, were prepared for it in their landing brief or had been admiring the maginificent scenery which has been commented upon by another contributor to this forum.

It is of course the great Summer season over here in Europe and many charter operators are busy hauling our sun worshippers to wall to wall sunshine destinations, where the likes of PAPI`s may be difficult to read. For those heavy drivers Mr. Thomas` article may be worthy of a quick read.
