And who did full trottle then......?
Please
You understand Dutch (presumably). You are therefor in the position to read and understand the
preliminary report released in that language.
The "
No corrective crew action taken" comment relates to the very first indication something was wrong, namely when the aircraft was at 1,950ft when, suddenly, left radar alt changed to -8ft and a Gear Warning was given. The preliminary report refers to this instance when it states that "
Initially the crew did not react to the issues at hand".
When they did respond (full throttle) it was already too late.
"
As a result of the deceleration, the aircraft's speed was reduced to minimum flying speed (stalling situation) and warning signals (the steering column buzzes at an altitude of 150 metres) were given.
The black box shows that full power was then applied immediately. However, this was too late to recover the flight, the aircraft was too low and, consequently, the Boeing crashed 1 kilometre short of the runway. "
The "
No corrective crew action taken" comment refers to a moment in the approach phase when such an action still
could have made a difference.
