Runway 10 is also rarely used in TPA. Not sure what they were lining up with to get them down to 150ft msl 8 miles from the airport tho...

How does that even happen? 🤔 Isn't there like a "terrain" warning or something?

[@hypoxia_lover]

Yes, but pilots often turn that system off when flying over tall buildings or terrain

[@prislander55]
