The big question to be asked is that 1000ft QNH or QFE to which they are referring?. The airport is 650 ft amsl. Crew co-ordination and monitoring seems to have completely broken down as the sop calls are not made and pnf does nothing to catch this error. At the end of another long night the urge to put the aircraft on the ground is very strong and was this the crew's primary motivation.. The FAA is negligent for not including cargo airlines in their new FTL and the crew discuss this before departure. An aircraft when it crashes doesn't know if it contains bodies or boxes.
