IAC ordered boggie configuration.
IAC knows about its operations and requirements better than anybody.
if now standrad boggie is coming that is also for the change in operating requirements.
but if you think boggie idea was wrong.......
i think even if it was wrong IAC everage pilots and engg. operated the 320 a/c with great success.
its only IAC who could operate boggie n no body else in the world.
IAC operated boggie configuration successfully even AIRBUS had told IAC donot go for boggie.
IAC pilot who flew on stopwatch navigating to the destination was always IFR. without any help of radio navigation available to navigate.
And he landed safely at a VFR field.
thats the reason at times many have doubts about procedures @IAC .
for sure many pilots are flying around the world in very demanding circumstances and doing great job .
India is one of such places where you get all type of harsh wx, tarrain,airfields,infrastructure.
and IAC is one AIRLINES which sends its average pilots for flying throu this.
IAC average pilots fly to most places .
Airbus told them that there was no need for this but IAC in its wisdom overruled them.This was the cause of so many spurious warnings and confusion in the cockpit

If you take a look at some of the South American airfields , you can see that the A 320 meets the performance criteria of some very demanding airfields comfortably...and note that some of these fields are purely VFR.....

IAC has always made a big deal about the tough operating conditions and airfields they fly into.The fact is they really haven't considered the fact that tough airfields and conditions don't exist only in South Asia
