The 1,000 foot call

I believe we agree that the 1,000 foot call is at 1,000 feet above the airport, or about 1,600 MSL in this case.

If you look at mm43's graph, her call was at 1,000 feet on the altimeter. (MSL)

Tubby mentioned this in one of his posts.

They didn't realize where they were vertically.

Has they reacted with a go around at the first "sink rate" announcement, things might be different.

Regards,

OBD
