But why would you want to "level off" at MDA??
Well if they'd leveled off at MDA,they'd still be alive, wouldn't they?
I'm not trying to be flippant here, and I understand that on a continuous descent approach you wouldn't have leveling off at MDA as a part of your planned profile. But apparently, at some point they descended thru MDA.
I understand that there are a whole lot of unanswered questions at this point. But consider the possibility that a greater awareness of MDA and a greater awareness of exactly what conditions should exist before descending below MDA might have prevented this accident.
