Isn’t that the standard Cirrus mating procedure?
Never thought this site should be X-rated.
It’s amazing this has happened before and they landed “ok”.
However, collisions on final approach are hardly surprising, given how many people report their position, and fly very close to the ground on short final.
I have always just found it feels “right” to be well above the PAPIs rather than on the glide slope (and of course we know it is right in a single). I dont know why but being low on the approach just feels uncomfortable so if anything I naturally end up high and maybe a little hot
I have noticed other people seem happier to be low – dont know why?
I often see people do a very low approach; so low that you can see their shadow on the ground underneath them for the last 1-2nm.
It may be a consequence of the training which gets them to fly huge circuits, and then flying a proper descent profile takes more work when you are flying say a 3nm final.

Well, neither “Ceper” nor “Pissna” sound all too encouraging.
