Karel x, many thanks for the more easily understood translation.
It is possible it was the autopilot following the RA and therefore maintaining a false 'level' in the critical moments. When I said it was under the guidance of the PF, this could have been how he set the autopilot.
Karel x. Is it possible you can pick out from the transcript for us:
1) where the actual approach decided upon was, and what it was?
2) whether there's any briefing or mention of the ravine by the crew?

Lastly, if ATC had glideslope information, why are they calling "on glideslope" when it isn't? Are there wave propagation errors due to the fog/whatever? IIRC, PARs can send you way off both track and glideslope in certain conditions. I remember several occasions when mates on PARs have punched out of cloud to be staring at buildings, and it wasn't always Air Tragic's fault.
