Thanks, PJ - as expected. So, a ballroom full of FMC 'ROC's would not have made any difference. We can surmise
a) They set up a home made RNAV 'approach' and it went drastically wrong
b) They screwed up a simple ILS for inexplicable reasons (was it actually 's'?)
c) There was a malfunction which caused the a/c to dive towards the ground
Aterpster - 'New airmanship' - no such thing, I'm afraid. Flying still requires 'old airmanship' not to be forgotten in the starry-eyed gaze at the magentas, whilst, of course, using the facilities to the best advantage.
