Doing hundreds of circle to land approaches in the mountains in Honduras over many years have never had one approach questionable. I don't know why they continued to fly out of their protected airspace and fly into the hills. My flights were mostly in a B757 so close to the same size aircraft. Unless they were too high and trying to lose altitude there was no reason to be over 7 miles on base leg. We need the CVR to find the answer to this one.
