Yes, I saw those, but it is the gross discard of the fact that they probably had been looking at a centred GP for a while, and probably had only just rolled out on the LOC I cannot understand. That's where I need the 'theories'.

Incidentally, I wonder if the ANZ crew were 'senior' management? The video showed a fairly relaxed company attitude to the poor approach preparation (described as thorough) and misunderstanding of 'unmonitored'. I would like, as I said earlier, to have seen the NOTAMS for UIII that day too. The first warning flag for the ANZ crew should have been the ILS NOTAM, and a firm DME/GP descent point briefed. Again, the ANZ video casually 'slips' in the fact that no GP intercept crosscheck was made - makes you wonder! Was it even briefed?

Are we really at that low a level of skills?
