Rubbish-
RWY 09 in WADD does NOT have any approach Lights.
So at the MDA on this non-precision VOR approach they were required to sight the runway or at the very least approach Environment and Threshold. The VIS req for the approach is 2,100m for gods sake.
This Captain didn't see jack and continued, he didn't even turn on the wipers...
If he had seen the approach environment such as the 15' high dam wall or threshold HE WOULDN'T HAVE FLOWN INTO THE SEA would he.
He said it himself in the report....."I expected to see the runway....." and he admits he never did.
Whatever the rules you don't fly around blind below MDA "feeling" you way to the runway!!!! Especially on a non-precision approach...
