Firefly,
I'm familiar with LJU and the point they turned base, along with their altitude was
never going to work. There's no illusion here - it's a breakdown of SA, poor decision making and stupid bravado to continue with the GPWS going off.
The ages of the crew involved would seem to indicate a high experience level and I simply cannot see how they (the FO for turning in on the Commanders suggestion and the Capt for thinking it "looked right") thought this was ever going to work. Presumably they would have had the ILS 31 DME displayed as they were initially going for the ILS - 1,710ft
AGL at 2.8D would not have looked right
What sanction against the crew? It may have been a mistake to turn in early but to continue was negligent/reckless.
