back to the point
Getting back to the basics of this post.
This report that I was privvy to is second hand and I cannot varify the facts, but take it to be in line with what happened.
The a/c was approx 4000 feet below what they were supposed to be when they struck the side of the mountain.
There were supposed to be at 13000 feet and the accident happened at 9000 feet.(give or take a couple of feet).
Also the a/c was in a nose high position when it hit the side of the mountain, indicating that the crew realised that something was amiss and tried to power out of the situation.
The point of impact was approximately 280 meters, from the summit.
The wreckage was strewn accross a large area indicating that initialy they were in the desent before the impact.
It was 8nm from the threshold on the opposite side of the GPS approach path
indicating that they were desending on their own accord.
As they had communicated with the tower 7 mins prior to impact does not suggest that there was any emergency.
(As I said, this was conveyed to me from a witness at the scene).
Lastly, and more disgustingly, to the SACAA inspector that shouted with a grinning smirk on his face to a work collegue in an office full of people,
"Ay, xxxx, I see your mate from CEM Air has killed another 19 people".
You should not only be fired from CAA but should learn that your stupid comments are not only hurtful, but very much inflamatory and could, (should), land you in court with a very big lawsuit.
You are not only a disgrace to the SACAA, but to humanity as well.
