It's moot, they dove it in.
I stand corrected.
the height available to MDE was 2.6 nm, and not 2 nm
So he he needed a 10:1 ratio do get to the airfield.
And crashed at 7:1.
Thats really sad. He might have made it. More lives could be spared.
I guess that with the audio FDR we will find out if the thought the VOR was the runway.
IF there is any audio available. In Brazil 2 years ago a governor running for president died in a Cessna jet that had the audio FR was not working. It had audio from like 1 week before the accident.
Yes, this is south america
