The incorrect value on the database is not an issue because ATC clear you only to 2500 for an ILS or perhaps lower for a visual approach etc otherwise for sure the integrity of the database would have been reported. The point I was trying to highlight is the complacency with regard to the database and also the lack of discipline demonstrated during approach setup. ATSB says they were cleared to 2500 to commence the approach but the guys descended below that....if 2500 was set in the FCU and DES mode engaged then there would be no problem. Incorrect database was not the cause rather pilot error and if indeed it was the same captain involved in the AVV incident then Id be focusing investigation attention towards recruitment and training
