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

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!!

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!

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