But THEY thought they were ON the localizer and glideslope on a normal ILS. I think the accident report will say they used the "Killer Switch" to give radial and distance info to the "Temporary Tower", and then flew the VOR instead of the LOC.
It makes sense that when they saw the ground instead of the runway, they did did a missed approach. Having the airspeed increase to 157 knots as they applied Go-around power seems normal to me.
Do you think it is unusual to have the airspeed increase during a go-around?
