Forgive me guys, as I am guessing a bit since I don't have a complete, correct English translation of the CVR. Are we now suggesting that:
1) They were probably set up for an autopilot 2-NDB approach, 3 degree glidepath, with the MDH set on the Radalt because the autopilot won't take Baro Alt inputs?
2) That they probably were using the talkdown for clues, and we're not sure why the talkdown was wrong?
3) That because of the above 2 points, no-one on the flight deck was properly clued in to what the expected rate of descent should have been, and/or they weren't cross-checking it properly.
4) At the last gasp they forgot they were on radalt not baro alt, or they didn't know about the ravine?
I would much appreciate 2 minutes of someone's time to get me back on the thread here, thanks.
