These kinds of accidents represent a profound failure to be able to demonstrate fundamental flying skills.
. Mastering those skills should always take precedence over sweating the perfect RT.
I completely agree.
On saying that, the amount of professional pilots I hear saying "cleared to land 29" or the like is annoying. The only person that should be saying 'cleared' with respect to an aircraft in flight is an ATCO.
Far better to use our colonial friends expressions IMHO, such as "I've got the field in my shield and I'm coming on in good buddy"
