    VERY low TFFJ approach

    I don't know if it's just the camera angle, but this approach seems low. Wow. :shock:

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    It's probably a clunky way of saying you need a rating, or some other sort of special qualification to land there.

    TFFJ is on the Special PIC Qualification Airport List, and thus requires special PIC qualification before operating an aircraft there.
