Turkish airliner crashes at Schiphol

[PJ2]

BOAC;

Thanks for the correction. I'm not making this discussion the focus of my life and I'm going from memory on the speed. Likely the "85kt" came from the report of the Thompson B737 stall from which the crew did recover.

But....., "85kts"...."97kts", the essential point, and the outcome, are the same. For whatever reason, the salient fact here is, over a time period of 100 seconds the aircraft was permitted to lose more than 40 kts of airspeed in the very late stages of the approach phase.

We will have to wait for the report to provide more information such as the CVR and DFDR and for the Dutch Board's conclusions as to why this was allowed to occur.
