Can I just confirm what we think actually happened? I have tried to read the machine translation of the report but it is not easy going and I might have got confused.
I think they were flying a VOR/DME approach and saw nothing at minima, so they went down to a lower minima? They still saw nothing so selected V/S down of more than 1000' per minute and eventually hit the sea a couple of km out?
On the VOR/DME approach plate there must be a table of altitudes versus DMEs for cross checking? Does anyone have a copy of the plate available?
Thanks
