Are those the guys that had their ADF's tuned up for the football match instead of navigating and got lost?
this statement is not true and the official accident report can confirm it.
Sgt Pepper's correct. The basic error was having set the course to 270 instead of 027. The glide down, with some flap (don't recall how much) was at 170 knots and 1,000fpm and they hit the trees in the flare at 130knots and 800fpm.
Thanks for the information. At least there is a high likelyhood of the French getting involved and publishing the final report on their website instead of the usual never hearing about it again that usually happens with crashes in this area of the world. Where did you find the official accident report for that Brazilian 737 crash? Not expecting a link.
