AA crash, Kingston
Q. What was the wind on the approach ? What was the tail wind component ?
Examining the appr chart for Rwy 30, I find the altitude over Avril at 3.05 deg to be 1940 ft, not 2000 ft. If they want 2000 ft then the angle has to be 3.1 deg. a gradient of 329 ft per NM
The other puzzling thing is the distances in Km when the DME and ASI on the aircraft are in NM. Seems pretty stupid to me.
I would use 3.1 deg from Wasot at an altitude of 4300 ft then use the "Flight Path Angle" (FPA) computer to do a constant descent profile all the way to the threshold. Much safer. It's time to stop doing these stupid "step down" approaches.
