Belgique.I am sorry there was no real point concerning your valid theory, which assumes the pilot knows where he is at, and can fly instruments in the first place.
I was angry about these 153 deaths. I was a GF pilot for 26 years and had observed this type of thing being manufactured. I was annoyed, as it appeared to me this captains brain remained so far behind his aircraft that he was even more unlikely to perform a black hole instrument goaround safely let alone get on the gauges to over come your theory.
I had also just read the CVR and observed his comments to his FO.and that the option
of useing the 30 ILS was not even requested.
Precisely because of two other crashes onto RW12 and numerous goarounds it was a Gulf Air sop as far back as 1974 to always request the ILS when within limits at any airport. I had also been told I was "Too nervous" by this captain when he was my FO on the 767 when arriveing from Saudi and doing this ILS option, my explanation was considered an "Old pilot idea".
I would like to see Star Arrival "Old Pilot" published for Saudi/ Bahrain VorRW12.
