Unbelievable. Considering the clear and calm weather and an unobstructed approach over the bay, this landing should have been simple. I'd hate to see how this pilot wold handle a tricky landing like Toncontin International Airport, Honduras.

I was telling someone today that airlines in the US are very good about familiarizing pilots with new airports before letting them fly there alone or in command of a bigger aircraft.
