- how about the interim report? Leaving aside what should have happened, where do you see 5.5 miles at 2000'?
All factors here are relevant to this accident. I am of the 'old school' - the Captain is ultimately responsible. However, there are many here of the 'why because' school who argue in a larger arena.
In my opinion vectoring at AMS needs 'tweaking'.
