Barit1,
Just reread my post. We could get into a circular argument about high sink rate, unarrested descent vs. CFIT crashes. Almost every accident is by definition "unarrested descent".
IMO the AA CVG crash is an example. Crew took a visual approach, ceiling reported at 1500 BKN. While trying to tune ILS frequency and get established on ILS they flew into the ground. Unstable approach? Blame it on high sink rate/unarrested descent? Or perhaps basic loss of situation awareness and basic instrument crosschecking?
Me? I'd blame it on loss of SA and basic flying. The NTSB makes no mention of high sink rate/spool issues.
NTSB? PROBABLE CAUSE(S)
