I have been looking for the final report about this flight and an explanation on how a wrong data base, if that was the case, can affect the final approach of an aircraft flying on autopilot and practically prepare for an auto land.
If they made a mistake and chose the LDA approach, how did they continue the descent without a glide slope indication and the A/P engaged ? Before the approach they should have checked the correct frequency, minimums, inbound course, etc, etc.
Besides, this must have been a multiple cockpit crew flight, nobody noticed anything wrong? No SOP's were followed? or was it fatigue?
On the other hand, if it really was an "error" in the database, can it lead to a false capture of the ILS even if it is tuned manually? This would be very scary, mainly, like flight UAL 901, during an approach in IMC -CAT1, 2 or 3- because I don't think there is a way to detect it on time
