This incident is not a surprise. The array of confusing charts versus FMS entries and Approach charts names is staggering and confuses the best of the best. Sadly the company Info on that airport is not really helping. Same applies to NCE and possible other airports with mismatching charts/FMS approaches and ATC procedures.

What is needed to make these curved approaches safe for A380? Bin the complicated technological "solutions" to the "piloting problem". Did everybody know how top fly a visual approach prior to being told it was not the safest option? Well, you know the answer to that...

Let pilots be pilots again and support them in their jobs by people who actually fly the line and understand the needs and risks. In time, they will reward the company with an improved incident record and less unwanted events on the line. My thoughts: Make pilots part of the solution instead of part of the problem. The rewards will not be instant, but they will be big when they finally reach home. Only a sincere attitude in this way will help.
