we should wait to determine whether it was an automatics settings problem or issues following the disengagement that has caused the accident
We now know that the aircraft struck the water, after disengaging the automatics and after turning onto finals from a base leg in poor weather. This does sound quite like the way to operate that some are advocating, but whilst it might have training benefit, it is higher risk IMHO.
BHL pilots will find a notice on the board when they next go into work, I expect ditto for CHC and Bond, but I am not going to be the one who posts its contents here - the gutter press are watching!
