While carrying out such mountain rescue in a AW-139 what performance graphs are normally used ?
HIGE or HOGE at MCP / TOP or intrapolate in between ?
Also any way to figure out the wind direction and speed ?
It’ll be interesting to know from HFDM whether the pilots ran out of power and / or (as I suspect )ran out of left rudder towards the end of the approach trying to get into whatever ground cushion they could find !!
A mild tail wind from 4-5 O clock I think would mess the end of approach proceedings ??
