Bob 777 :

Ironbutt57 : Thank you this does answer my question .

OK465 :
Could you cite some of what you're referring to here
One that comes to mind : also the report of that one ( February 2012, BEA) refers to multiple incidents by same airline at this perticular airport.
The RNAV Visual Approach to runway 26 was proposed to all arriving aircraft indiscriminately. The lack of RNAV Visual Approach training at Air XXX at the time of the occurrence caused the captain fail to anticipate possible problems during the approach briefing, that the first officer might encounter during the unusual approach. In addition, the lack of understanding of how open descent, open climb and autothrottle work with the crew believing the autoflight systems would still ensure maintaining correct airspeed led to lack of monitoring of airspeed. The lack of identification of such risk factors led to the aircraft entering the turn to final in low energy state, given its configuration and the nose up inputs the speed warning and Alpha Floor activated.
IFALPA has also issued a bulletin last month on Visual RNAV APP : http://www.ifalpa.org/downloads/Leve...V%20Visual.pdf

but thanks for your answer, point taken.
