Clear to Land, you are the man!

Aviating 101-Power + Attitude=Performance.
Landing 101-Aimpoint, Aspect, Airspeed.
Applies in an AB, a Boeing and even in a Helicopter. What has happened is that the people in the crew seats were not AVIATING!!!!!! Who cares what mode/where thrust levers are etc-either the aircraft is doing what you want it to do-or you make it! That is what did not happen!!!!
AIRMANSHIP-pure and simple.
Agree 100%.

I have read 7 pages of this crap to get to what is truly the issue of flying a visual approach in gin clear conditions. A 777 or C182, who cares, they all are push and pull, stick and rudder stuff, same basic flying principles. Remember that basic stuff we all learnt on day one in a circuit area? Still applies!

Well said C2L!.
