Haven't landed USM. I pulled up a couple youtube vids to see what you're referring to. Looks challenging for sure but no harder than what I fly on 737s now (short, ungrooved, island runways coupled with swirling winds due to nearby terrain). IOW, nothing a senior Captain couldn't handle. Unless I see an official report, I'm not buying that a senior pilot over-corrected.
If it was a PEC, ATR would be the last to admit it. That I'm sure of. Anyway, I'm surprised there's no "official report" out yet. Doesn't bode well for Thai accident investigatory authorities.
If someone has a link to the report, pls post it here.
