oden. The guys in the back knew they were headed for the island because they were looking at an image of it on a display. Presumably the crew were not looking at that display.
I did correct that. The report says this about the maps available in that Euromap system...
The exact information in relation to Black Rock and Lighthouse varied from none, to detailed, depending on the selected map/chart.
So if APP1 descends to 200 feet, and flies towards a 282 foot next waypoint, is the alternative to manually set a higher descent target given that APP1 obviously will have this result? Or are there APP2 options, etc?
How did R118 get into Blacksod? Same approach?\\
