It seems to me as well that all the three planes busted the minima on that day.
The ground control at some point was always finding a plane not where they thought it should be - in all the four approach cases.
One plane they saw on runway the next thing (Yak), to their surprise; twice they had IL too low over their head and over the runway which means it executed go-around later than the 100 metres, and the fourth time, what to say.
Yak crew did say they saw the runway from 50 metres, didn't they?
For them it proved to be enough only because small Yak needs half the run-way length, compared to the other two big planes.
What caught my attention in the transcript is one part that looks like an improvised English lesson, controllers talking to each other, when the major mess has been lived through, before TU appearance. Or what they thought as "over".
Like,
- go-around?
- It's go around.
- Go round?
- No, go around.
- Call around?
- No, go, go around.
- Go around?
- Yes, repeat, go around.
