GP 28 L was U/S is has been for a while far as I know and there were aware of it but what I mentioned on the previous post big problem nowadays is that pilots , specially in the big Asian airlines had no exposure to non precision approaches in their career nor thear recurrent training emhesases much of it. Company policies discourage pilots to practise manual flying and normaly AP is not disengaged bellow 1000 or 500 ft. Those pilots actually never had a chance to learn good manual handling of the airplane not to mention non precision or visuall approach. Looks like long expecting and predicted result of those deficiencies in pilot training created this situation. PF probably got sucked into tunnel vision of the touch down point and without electronic path kept runway in the same place on the windshield......... Sad , it actually happen quite often to young FOs eaven with GP but its corrected by captain. In this case it should be at least 3 of them in the cockpit and at least one should of noticed......something wary wrong with their CRM
