Look at the photo's on the day mate, where is the rain? It's clear blue skies. What a lame excuse for actions taken by a captain that killed people!! Once you are holding such a position, you should surely understand the basic concepts of a "stable approach"...
That's why they prosecuted him , there was no bad weather or other excuse and he broke every rule in the book.

My point was weather is a factor here for other types of accidents which is magnified by poor PIC decisions to continue approaches, the Indo accident rate would be statistically higher given the poor infrastructure and bad weather compared to Australia for example

Clearly not hard enough. This is a pathetic demonstration of their law at work. Inconsistant, illogical and let's wait and see what happens next Ramadan, his sentence will be halved, but others in jail for lesser crimes will have NO reduction in sentences.
Yeah , well that's Indonesia for ya and a lot of other developing countries also
