"If they had flown the procedure correctly and not departed MDA unless the PAPI was indicating "on slope" we wouldn't be discussing them.
The 47 feet doesn't mean anything unless you don't come out of the clouds way below MDA and way below the PAPI "on slope.""


aterpster, You're right, but they did come out of the clouds way below MDA and way below the PAPI. I'm just pointing out that the difference between 75 feet and 47 feet could have been the next to last hole in the Swiss cheese (The final one: Not going around).
