flatfootsam,
You say
"negating the fact that a trained crew flew a functioning DC-10 in clear weather into the side of a mountain."
But in fact
" The weather was reported at McMurdo to be completely overcast at 3,500ft with other cloud layers above, mountain tops in the area were covered in cloud.
Other aircraft in the area reported Ross Island as being completely obscured by cloud".
Mt Erebus is a very significant feature of Ross Island.
Try and stick to fact, was the weather reporting station at McMurdo, and all the other reports from aircraft in the area also all part Of Justice Mahons Conspiracy???
"The FL160 limit and descent procedure you rely on is inconsequential - ipso if the DC-10 had not descended below FL160 it would not have crashed is the same argument as if the DC-10 had not taken off it would not have crashed, ipso facto."
Really?? what is the reason that every airline route has a published MSA, why do they do that if it is inconsequential??
