BTW, we used to fly it from the MDA and I don't remember any of these type of incidents.
OK, I will bite. The approach has a MDA of 800 feet, followed by a visual segment to landing. May I ask, just what, in their infinite wisdom, are EK expecting their pilots to do in the last 800 feet, if its not look out the window and fly the aeroplane?
