I find it interesting that it is considered "just an NPA". In the fixed wing world, almost all CFITs occur on NPAs, with something like 70-80% with the Captain as PF. There are a few very thought provoking diagrams of CFIT type accidents here:





NPAs without any form of vertical guidance are a bigger danger than an ILS and many companies require extra briefings and precautions for them. The large number of beautifully stable approaches on centreline smacking in short of the runway keeps my eyes firmly open.

Do you get any aural EGPWS type warnings when approaching minima for instrument approaches in the L2?
