stood there
saw it. At least the second GA, after being alerted be the first. Looked like a balked landing in training. After some turning in the canyon he came in for a 15 kts tailwind landing on 26.
Rumour soon spread that these manoeuvres where due to a map shift. Frankly, quite a few of us thought that questionable airmanship.
But now a new rumour is arrising. It is said that the same pilot got the same map shift warning 20 feet AGL a week before - showed good airmanship - continued the stabilized approach and landed. Back home he got bashed for not flying by the book. And now he demonstrated that the book might need some amendement.
Anybody able to confirm this?
Donīt put too much hope in that NDB. The locals are doing a lot of testing on GPS based missed approach procedures. This would cancel the need for the NDB project (which has been on for years now)
