Thanks for the explanation David-A

I have seen similar comments in the book I have just finished reading - Cockpit Confidential by Patrick Smith aka askthepilot.com. I am slighty paraphrasing here, but his comments were along the same lines as yours, i.e. that there aren't really "dangerous" airports/approaches and those labelled as such are slightly dramatised for the "10 most dangerous aiport" type programs. The point he made was if they were truely dangerous no pilot would fly there - pilots have no more interest at putting themselves at risk than passengers do. I think his comment was that there are airports which are more taxing, perhaps more tricky or challenging for a pilot, and I guess GIB is one of them.

I am sure kaerast was just using the term "dangerous" losely based on the overly dramatised media we have all seen, and doesn't believe it is a truely dangerous airport.
