KingAir loss
Another sad loss.
We don't know the cause of this crash yet but on examining the VOR approach chart one has to wander why these charts are constructed with such low altitudes and resuling shallow flight path angles.
If the angle had been 3 degrees all the way from the 10nm "Walls" WP, the aircraft altitude at that point would be 4600 ft and not 3300 ft. The FAF (5nm) alt would be 3000 ft not 2900 ft.
Could this have made a difference ?? Maybe.
With a ground speed of 100 Kts, the rate of descent from "Walls" (4600 ft) to the 50 ft threshold crossing height would be 530 fpm, quite comfortable.
When are the chart drawing people going to wake up ?? How many more CFIT accidents do they want ?? There are far too many shallow approaches in existance out there. Time to do something about it !!!
