So, theoretically with a pilots license should in my opinion never get low and slow. One of my favorite FO's when I was on vacation flew with a captain that got low and slow into TGU and took out the fence at the 70 ft cliff landing south.

There is no excuse for that if you are a real pilot and not a button pusher fresh out of school or who never progressed past that. I was in Europe when I read this in the newspaper. Later, I found out it was my friend who was the FO. I thought everybody knew if you are approaching a runway with a cliff on the approach end the air has to spill over the cliff downward if you have a head wind so you get a down draft. He didn't. Stupidity sometimes can not be fixed.
