- Scud running when there is an appropriate IFR approach available
- Behind the airplane
- No go around on approach when high/fast (when initially spoken about it)
- No checklists
- No (apparent) crew briefing for landing (would have included risk factors such as high landing weight, short runway, weather, etc.)
- Non-standard landing procedure (immediate deployment of T/Rs before speedbrakes and established ground mode)
- Flat landing with no apparent flare (likely due to speed) causing bounce
- Horrible bounce recovery and subsequent ambiguity about 2nd bounce recovery
- Attempted go-around without power (due to T/Rs not stowed) and inappropriate response to it (although airborne T/R deployment may have caused pitch up)
- Absolute lack of appropriate use of speedbrakes
- Lack of appropriate use of T/Rs throughout the event, both in deployment and (lack of) retraction
Did I mention no checklists? I trained a few years ago with another knuckleheads who didn't use checklists...imagine my shock when it turns out his flight department was involved in a somewhat high profile multi-fatality accodent?! It boggles my mind...how lazy and unprofessional do you have to be to not read & respond for 5-10 seconds?!
Anyway, reading that was downright scary. Collision with the ditch at the end had to hurt but more importantly
looking at the pictures it doesn't take a lot of imagination to see how the cyclone fence could have also blocked all exit from the aircraft. This could have been way worse.
