What's even more important, why was the aircraft off course, to the right?
Runway 09 at TIP is served by a very accurate NDB approach...two beacons as I recall.
A simple exercise...provided of course, the pilots were at a reasonable proficient level.
Could it be that pilots that are 'slaves to the magenta line' are so out of touch with everyday flying reality, that they lose track of just where they (and their aircraft) are?
