ARRAKIS, there's no such thing as "mixed NDB+GPS approach". And ARP is never used for any kind of approaches - GPS or otherwise.

Lena.Kiev, like I said, it was just nit-picking on my side. And it has nothing to do with either en-route navigation (for which the difference between SK-42 and WGS-84 is immaterial) or the landing...

a bit of nit-picking

Lena.Kiev, when you do calculations at this level of accuracy, you should be very careful about your arithmetics: N54 49.7 is, in fact, N54.8283333333, and it gives the difference of about 400 meters...

ARRAKIS, if you're a pilot, and you want to find a decent job with a US airline, you'd better not have speeding tickets or police reports of you beating your wife. "Good moral character" is a very...

kotofeus, it's not funny even before you know that some of those soldiers later stole several bank cards from the scene of the accident.

I don't think they did it as a reaction to the RA. I don't think they did it at all - the pitch setting remained the same, and the AT kept the engines at idle. It was just a natural effect of the...

Ptkay, you're looking at the data from the flight data recorder, and my guess would be that the quantization of the barometric altimeter data is rather crude there. Also, it is a pressure altitude...

RatherBeFlying, the standard pressure is not 1013 mm, it's 1013 hPA. Which is 760 mm or 29.92 in Hg. No matter which block.

franzl, it was useful information — the crew was informed that their parameters were good enough, and that they were to maintain the current heading and rate of descent.

franzl, I've never called the controller's words "garbage". What I called "garbage" were the quoted numbers as an input for trajectory calculations. Please read more carefully.

Analyzing the CVR transcript, you can be pretty sure that the controller was very accurate — see his heads-up about the airplane's approaching the LOM at 10:39:49 and the LOM signal at 10:39:50.

No, I'm saying that one's got to be an idiot to use coordinates that are of a dubious origin and in an obvious contradiction with navigation system data.
