It becomes more damming! Captain had not been there before. The FO been there once in the daytime. They are informed that they are 15 miles away from the airport by ATC. Despite all of this neither pilot raised any concern about suddenly accepting a visual. TEM at an all time low. One runway is 45 meters wide the other 30 meters. Anyone who has landed on both will know the pictures are hugely different day or night. Did they even know the runway width? Probably not, as per Capt Bloggs et al, they would not have briefed anything. SA also at all time low.
