oh yes, a training flight too................
Once again, I am sorry for the previous information posted by me. To clarify, this was not a training flight. Both captains were TR on the bus and well experienced (flight time).
About the media: best news I saw until now was from CNN, pretty accurate and straight forward. Brasilian media is about selling blood at any means, so at this moment, ANYTHING on the TV or newspaper is BS and tendentious.
Can say once again that landing in CGH for TAM pilots (and every other Brasilian airline pilot) in a normal procedure and a routine, so I believe they were prepared for a slippery runway. And that is why I think some other thing went wrong on this accident. Taking off from CGH today, I saw some tire markings (braking marks) on the end of runway 35L (I was on 35R), about 45 degrees with the runway centerline. Hope some Day we can see the truth about this terrible accident.
