wrong minimum altitude?
There are similarities between the Lockhart River crash, and the Westwind crash that happened about 15 years ago at Alice Springs.
The westwind crash occurred because the FO called an incorrect minimum altitude during the approach, and the captain cescended to it,and cfit occurred.
The captain had obviously lost situational awareness, as he had previously briefed approach details, and mentioned a minimum altitude which was higher than what he descended to.
He was probably distracted by his attempt to remain on track as the approach was depicted as a straight line on the chart, but was in fact bent. The navaids did not line up, and it was almost unflyable within tolerance. The chart was not simple.
There was some suggestion that a steep command gradient existed.
There were other factors.
It appears that at both of these the two crew system was not really working properly.
I believe that GA is not taken seriously enough by too many people, and it is only considered as a training operation where the stakes are not very high, and it is only temporary..
Too many people are transient.
ITCZ.
Did you do anything to rectify the things you heard in the Metro?
