I was flying into TNT with frequency until unfortunately this accident happened. At our company the engineers along with jeppessen have even made a chart that allows you to configure on schedule and fly the approach with vnav/lnav flight director guidance, making much easier. Ofcourse the the biggest challenge on this approach is the inertia, and if your not correctly configured at the appropriate altitudes and checkpoints, then it all goes to
s#!t. On the final turn when you have to get into the "ditch" you come within -300' laterally of the houses and the hills(i'm guesstimating). Once you level the bank and try to line-up, you almost always end-up with the plane drifting to the right(inertia) and at first it's confusing to have to keep putting left bank in-and-out and simultaneously descend until the threshold. Touching down any distance past the first taxiway is mandatory go-around due to the much higher risk of overruning. Also, just like in GUA, rwy 02 has a 1.0% grade (down slope) and that influences quite a bit in trying to break the ground-effect to precisely land just shy of the taxiway. Also the little kids around the houses with slingshots don't help either!!
Hope this helps STINSON.
And may god bless the dead, injured, families and friends of all that were involved in the TACA-390 accident.RIP.
