- they still busted the minima (their minima was 100m above aerodrome, they descended to 100m AGL, and this time terrain below them was much lower than the aerodrome), and as this was a non-precision approach, they should have arrested the descent before reaching 100 (they shouldn't have descended even a bit below), and not just making a decision to go around at this point.
absolutly correct. But the reason for doing so has been stated before:
- Using radar altimeter instead of barometric
- Late descent
- Therefore steep descent
- Therefore faster then normal
- No CRM at all
- marginal proficincy.
But intention to do it that stupid way with Autopilot down till impact?
