Agreed, and in doing so shown those aviators operating the aircraft and knowing its limitations the various issues arisen during the approach, who then openly criticise the pilot in question.

Maybe the pilot in question was comfortable filming and publishing his achievement, where others would take a different view on his "achievement" that day.

Regardless of reason for posting, a challenging day it may have been, the pilot's limitations may have been exceeded, tunnel vision may have occurred and as such he may not have realised what was going on during the approach.

Let's not judge him, but learn from the video.
Let's teach our fellow aviators it is OK to abandon the approach when seeing one like this in future, when a flap relief activates at low level, or tell the handling pilot his thrust setting is too high, his approach speed is excessive, and so forth...
