Option #3 could have been to look out the window and put the aiming point of 1000 ft in the bottom third of the windshield and keep it there and use the thrust to maintain a constant speed profile.
The inability to recognise a divergent approach (indisputable thru flight track v/s data) and the lack of a go around below a stabilised criteria height limit (again indisputable) is an indictment on the professionalism of the crew piloting the aircraft.
In response to BBK, I am in agreement with B-HKD. If you know anything about Korean law and their culture then these guys are toast.
Well said! The media hasn't a clue. They need to read this, and the experts (media talking heads) need to reveal what you just stated! Thank you!
