Same runway, similar conditions, pressed on with the approach below minimum visibility. The main difference is the MD82 went into the hills. This approach is offset by 1.4 degrees and doesn't provide the same degree of accuracy to touch down as a normal ILS. There is a noticeable downslope on runway 27 and the surface would have been wet. Required visibility is 2200/2300m CatC/D the METAR states a vis of 2000m.
My point was One To Go was a very different 'affair'. Allegedly fraudulent training records, no one actually flying the aircraft during the GA etc...
