- while I would prefer not to 'categorise' here, I would pick you up there briefly (hopefully without diverting the thread too much from the original question!) - there IS indeed an error trap, namely the stable approach criteria. They were patently WRONG at 1000' and again at 500'.. One would HOPE that a TC would be watching this like a hawk, if not
actually monitoring airspeed per se, as this should be a major training point for all pilots. What we need to try and understand is why these pointers were missed. Indeed, does this airline have these criteria?
