Certain individuals in here defending the Captain need to open their eyes---
1/ there are no approach lights on 09
2/ if there are no approach lights then the Runway threshold and touchdown zone MUST be visible.
3/ you NEVER fly below any decision height without the required visual reference, EVER. We do not blindly sniff around feeling for the runway
4/ if you subsequently lose visual reference when below the minima you MUST IMMEDIATELY GO AROUND..... No if's or buts.
He didn't even switch on the wipers!!
he was obviously over loaded.
He admitted to waiting to see the runway, even when below MDA.
He's damn lucky he didn't kill anyone.
Now, Lionair must also accept some of the blame in respect to training, checking and the safety culture in the Airline.
