I don't care whether you can read the instruments or not although that ability does help.
If you don't fully understand what the controller is saying and therefore are then unaware of the actual conditions you can read your instruments all the way into the ground.
??
Yes but you have altimeters, radar altimeters, and approach plates. When you reach minimums as read from your altimeters, and you can't see the runway you go missed.
If it reached the runway then was "catapulted". That almost suggests it was "flown into the ground"...Reminds me a bit of that Fedex MD11 which had the bad landing in Japan. Sounds like no flare, heavy landing....bounce....etc...
