Note the captain had approx 7500tt. I wonder how many takeoff and landings he had.
Given that EK is mostly a long haul airline.
Im guessing he had approx 1000 To/ldgs. Half as handling, half as non handling.
So approx 500 handling TO/LDGs.
This was probably his first real G/A,outside of the sim.
If this is reasonable speculation was the captain experienced enough?.
