Come on you lot get real, what sort of a sightseeing trip would these pax have had at 1500ft at not below 260kts. The only reason they were down there was because the approved let down procedure was below minimums, they were trying to get below the cloud base, and track to McMurdo at 1500ft. For what reason???? they had been advised by qualified people that it was no good due weather for sightseeing, and suggested to go to Taylor valley area.

If I had an Aero club pilot carry out such a procedure with a load of fare paying pax he ,or she, would be looking for another job.
