down in three green

for the longest time I tried to find a non pilot reason for accidents...I really mean it. Trying to blame many things other than pilot screwup.

Well, this one sort of looks like that. Just a screw up...maybe not a long enough final to be stable, maybe not awareness of the terrain features near by...maybe letting the copilot fly a tough approach when it should belong to the captain.

maybe night vision problems....get there itis.

yup...maybe its better to start with pilot error and then look around for other things.

and why wasn't the post/pole illuminated???
