PENCO, et al, you didn’t need complicated systems to avoid CFIT (so was the thinking several years ago); now with a simple, robust computer, based on accurate data, the industry has a very reliable safety device … if only everyone would use it.
Yes the industry does need to change its attitude to long landings, or the major contributions such as tailwind and flare training with high GS. If we continue to think that we always know what we are doing, or why we do it, then we are very mistaken.
Why does the industry land in tailwinds … a balance of economics and safety; sometimes the balance is misjudged, but by whom, pilots or management.
