The BFU called this a "serious incident" (See
Interim Report, page 1)
At 1639:44 hrs1 during the approach to runway 24 of Memmingen Airport about 4 Nautical Miles prior to the runway threshold a Boeing 737-800 (B737) passenger airplane approximated the ground. According to the radio altimeter the lowest altitude was 450ft above ground. The Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) generated a warning and the crew conducted a missed approach procedure.
