Please explain how descent to the MDA within the vertical and lateral tolerances, can lead to a CFIT?

That is what we are talking about here - a controlled flight into TERRAIN, if the previous reports are correct!

Guam radar MUST have been monitoring this approach, the FDR of the aircraft involved - which can now LEGALLY be pulled..along with the CVR - also must have recorded these events.

But, if ALL of that fails, what is the Philippine MoT doing??!!(Hand out for $$$'s??)
They [MOT] are ICAO approved, and unless something more substantial [by way of an OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION] is produced, than has been to date, then PAL might find themselves having to re-apply for their ACOC!

Anyone with FACTS on this ACCIDENT - damage to aircraft qualifies it as such - please PM me.
