Thank you Right way up for the AB info.
2 things for 'leathertrousers'
"I am curious why the aircraft appears to have made such a shallow intercept of the localiser which led to a glide slope intercept closer in than ideal and from above the glide." - pretty common in AMS - I have oftern been keeping an eagle eye on predicted intercept v GS there with 'fine' intercept directions, and once backed it off 10 degrees to be b***d by the controller!
We do not know the 3rd guy was a safety pilot. One report was he was not type qual.
Bobcat - I cannot see such a trim restriction limiting the cg envelope - I reckon we should be nowhere that trim in normal flight, not even on an autoland flare?.
