A-320 Falling into Sea under 60 Degrees Nonsense, Expert Says

«The airdrome in Adler is not a simple one. As different from plain airdromes, planes land here only from the side of the sea, while they take off towards the sea owing to the mountain range in the north-east. Planes land almost as on the deck of an aircraft-carrier,» stated air security expert Victor Timoshkin. In his words, lighthouses are situated in front of common landing strips to help the pilot when landing. «There are no such here, they are not placed in the sea. Of course these lighthouses do not play much role given the contemporary technologies, however they are an additional reference point,» he said.
