I wish one pilot arriving at old buckenham sunday as we were all departing had read this.....despite no calls until 'final vis 2 on' he failed to go around - instead we got to 50' just 500m up the runway as he got to 20'. Now that is cutting it close - downright stupid - if we or the a/c before had performed an RTO he would have hit us - or would he have finally thought about it enough to go around - a real prat..

Interestingly....suppose the airfield is one such as upavon(?) where there are no designated runways (not even grass delinated ones)...how does one evalute 'clear' in this case?

Otherwise nice posting flyflybob!
