Looked like a text book landing to me.
I bet it is one the crew have done many many times.
But it looked good :D

I would say that Toncontin is a "Special Qualification Airport". Either Captain- only landings or specific procedures training before you can go in there. The departure isn't much better either!

What reference/landing aid is he using? I cannot see PAPIs (or VASIs:p) and if they did have them, what angle of approach would they be set at?
I noticed he landed well short of the aiming point markers and guess he needed too for braking.
Is there an ILS (cannot make the aerials)
Dammit!...somebody put up the plate!!

Hi Chaps, just thought I would share this one with you - not an airport that pilots relish flying to, hats off to this crew
