GA200 ~ Just reread the report.

A question I raised on the PIA 8303 thread ~ the lack of involvement by the Aerodrome Controller.

A recent UK AAIB report on an unstable approach at Bristol revealed that the Aerodrome Controller instructed the B737 to Go Around as he assessed that the ‘profile’ on final was unsafe.

No mention in the GA200 report of ATC saying anything to prevent the impending disaster, even though eye witnesses on page 41 comments on the excessive speed [210kts]. The final hole in the ‘Swiss Cheese’?

Is / was the role of ATC at a legal variance in Indonesia
or is it a ‘Cultural’ matter that you don’t question a pilot even when you know that it “doesn’t look right”.

The ATC involvement with IX 1344 might also be revealing....
