- are you trying to say that these 'readouts' were baro? How do you account for the 2 100m calls 7 seconds apart? Are you saying they levelled off at 100m for 7 seconds? They still had '20m' or so ABOVE the runway just before they crashed, yet they crashed below the runway elevation.

I think you should put the 'baro' theory to rest?
That's exactly what I am saying = they stabilized at the MDA = 100 m exactly as planned, and things were going swimmingly for a while.

The last callout = 20 m happened 4 secs before the crash. At the rate they were sinking that puts the crash at -20 m below runway level which is almost exactly where they crashed in real life (-15 m). So all the pieces fit
