Dive and Drive
I remember those types of approaches and in the simulator, if you did not dive, you wouldn't see the airport no matter what. It was part of the "game".
Hopefully the NTSB will give us more preliminary info soon, but it looks like the mowed a lot of trees for some distance to the north of Mrs. Benson's place.
From the info we have about the A/P being on, I lean towards a descent in the V/S mode with no MDA set.
I would really like to hear the last few minutes of the CVR.
