FZ do single channel ILS with manual landings/go arounds or manual approaches and manual go arounds.
It has been said this approach was a manual approach, which sound a bit weird to me. Could be the case, or just a confusion between manual landing and manual approach?

I am not saying it is the case here, but those of us who have been around the block once or twice know there are a lot of substandard pilots out there.
It was reported that the first officer in this crash was coaching the captain throughout the approach.
Am I the only one who thinks this is strange?
