Quit making excuses for these pilots, “no ILS glide path, cross San Mateo Bridge at xxxx, set up a GNSS approach” blah, blah, blah. Any pilot should be able to perform a visual approach, period. There are two, three, or four pilots up in the front monitoring the approach and any of them can easily say “too low, airspeed, right of course, sink rate, go-around, my controls,” before the situation is out of control.
God forbid, if ATC was giving you a “slam dunk approach” you could always say “unable”.
At least one of the three pilots of the 214 crash observed unstable approach criteria (which are spelled out clearly in their operating manuals), they just wouldn’t speak up or act in a timely manner. I am sure at least one of the pilots in this latest incident also observed unstable approach criteria and didn’t speak up soon enough.
A little extra time in the sim doing visuals and practicing unstable approach calls would go a long way to fixing these problems. We have already seen the results of not addressing the problem.
