mutt:
no, the EMB 170 is not high on my list of planes to fly and I don't fly it.
please send me a copy of the ops bulletin on the thrust reversers so I can read it.
My point is this: any pilot, not just these pilots, who did not take into account the items I mentioned might have gone off the end. Let us all ask ourselves right now, what would we have done differently?
wx, visual illusion with downsloping runway, no glideslope...how would you have handled that approach?
tell me, honestly now, how many of you out there in internet land brief the slope of the runway? be honest now.
I've written the slope on my apch charts since 1994. try landing at binghamton, new york some time.
