It is still not clear, what kind of approach they had been cleared to
Quote: MikeJuliet:
One thing is certain - neither 101 crew nor ATC used PAR, or the ground-controlled approach procedure. One of the basic rules in PAR is "5 seconds of silence = go around".
I would like to ammend your statement to read:
One thing is certain - neither 101 crew nor ATC
followed the rules of a PAR, or the ground-controlled approach procedure.
No doubt about that.
But again: Who is in control of the airport, who grants approach, landing, missed approach and departure clearances? I learned long ago , it is
"A" like Air
"T" like Traffic
"C" like Control
Control is the magic word.
"To exercise authoritative or dominating influence over; to direct."
definition of control
What and how did they "control" on that special day?
