It would seem if there is no revision in facilities or IAP/Visual procedures at this airfield following this accident(and the sooner the better) another accident is liable to follow
How about we have rules that don't allow you fly recklessly outside of AFM limitations and don't land with a 20-30K tailwind!!! Oh Wait!

Professional pilots have been flying safely into and out of this airport for many years. The worst case scenario is the weather isn't right so you go somewhere else and someone's ski vacation is delayed for a couple hours.

Isn't there a special sim syllabus for CatC aerodromes like these to legislate crew with no previous experience to check out prior to operations?
Oh sure....let's have more regulation because some of us are too stupid to make judgement calls without it.

Some kind of glideslope guidance to higher than precision minimums and for circling implementing curved approach guidance flashing lights such as those that were at HKG Kaitak, might be considered
Are you going to pay for all that? Seriously....let's just shut the place down altogether....make people drive.

If it is known to be a dangerous airport why doesn't FAA and ICAO do something to minimize the risks?
Yes please! Come and save us pilots from our own ineptness.

I'm sorry for the harshness here but this is really p!$$ing me off! Think about what you're saying. The captain of this Challenger...unless by some crazy turn of events turned out to be responding to an emergency condition or the ATC recordings and weather reports we've all heard are completely wrong...was operating in a deliberate and reckless manner and is not an example of a typical professional business jet pilot.

Stop trying to make sense of this for anything other than what it was.
