Minima bust(or not) is a red herring.This is down to airmanship pure and simple.Autopilot OFF and trouble begins.1150' down at 30' is unforgiveable.They were high and one of the strongest caveats in the recovery process is to re-adjust ROD after recapturing profile.Seems like nobody was able to just "fly the plane".Like Asiana.Like AF 447 and countless others.Pilots are a dying breed being replaced by automation(lionair's answer to its woeful record is not to retrain its pilots to actually fly but rather install smart landing from honeywell) and rote procedure(say this when he does that,you do that when he says this,press this button here after he does that etc...).And to cap it all Lionair is now looking to hire FO's for LHS upgrade.Because they cant get enough experienced guys to fly all the brand new jets theyre getting.Crazy.
Ive retired now but I saw it all unfold in my years in the East as an expat.They dont want the automation out,they want to focus on the button-pressing,the monkey-see-monkey-do rote and the SOP.Btw,a GA after losing visual ref below MDA is simple airmanship(in fact not even that,its basic common sense) not SOP.
