For those readers that lack the time and inclination to read the link to the full report at Post 1 of the Solitaire 737 accident, the following extracts from the summary should only take a few seconds to read.
"At 35 miles from AQB VOR, ATC contacted the crew and asked them if they were able to maintain their speed to continue landing on runway 19. The tailwind was 16 knots. The crew accepted and continued to a straight in approach.
During final and after dropping the landing gear, the aircraft was not configured to the correct landing configuration, the flaps were set to Flaps One at height of 650 feet AGL, multiple GPWS warnings were triggered but disregarded by the crew (First Officer was PF throughout), the high speed was not corrected by the crew efficiently and the aircraft continued to the landing runway.
As the aircraft descended below 500 feet RA the computed airspeed was 218 knots (VREF+85) and reducing. The aircraft was configured at flaps one with speed brakes extended.and calculated sink rate approximately 1200fpm.
The aircraft passed the threshold at 115 ft RA at flaps five and continued along the runway to the point when the flaps were selected to Flaps 30 at 90 feet RA. The captain took over and managed to put the aircraft on the runway at 7400 feet beyond the runway threshold. The airplane came to a stop 10,600 feet beyond the landing threshold (600 feet inside the soft area)
The roles in the cockpit were not followed correctly. The copilot who was flying the aircraft was not assertive against the captains intentions and communication calls even after the GPWS warnings that gave them a clear indication of the unstabilized situation they were encountering. The situation had clearly indicated ineffective CRM skills and resulted in the incorrect decision of the eventful landing."
That debacle says much about the airline culture.. Thankfully there were no casualties. Not so for the unfortunates in the eerily similar final approach circumstances of the Garuda 737 over-run at Jogjakarta several years earlier.
