THAT Was the most amazing post ....my goodness , I've been to a few places with you , but that tops the list.
The fact that you took an aircraft in there that has no thrust reverse made me wonder....but you did it :thumbup:
Its odd, I've been reading a book about the 146 ...and discovered that after Concorde, it was the first aircraft to have carbon brakes....they must have known you had plans :)

Thank you for sharing ...amazing.

That's impressive Irfan, not much chance of a go-around there then??!?! :lol:

I've tried that recently in the PC12 and failed, need to practice the approach more, how many times did you try it?

Much obliged for the appreciation. Somehow, I did not receive any notifications for the replies to this thread.
