in the turn onto finals, maybe doing a visual?
With a 700' cloudbase? And in a turn but less than 1nm from final? Unlikely.

Flat impact and reports of 'porpoising' do suggest loss of control. Is it still 'CFIT' if the aircraft was stalled, but still technically flyable? I guess not.

Bridge builder, I don't consider Rainboe's post abusive, and it is welcome that someone else is not prepared to tolerate some of the nonsense spouted by flight-simmers, non-aviation people and evanglicals.

Some people are now in little bits because something went wrong with the field which I work in every day. I want to discuss 'why', with people who might know what they are talking about. If anyone wants to start a huggy-fluffy RIP thread, then clear off and do so and leave the rest of us alone.

pray that the figures does not go up.
I quite hope they do not do down, as that usually means...zombies
