Maybe we should stop beating round the bush.
The operators let down procedure clearly shows Black Rock at 282'
It would have also been visible on Radar and would have been a waypoint in the system. There is no reason not to know that there was a big lump of rock with a light on it that was 282' AMSL. It is the start point of a company procedure not the point to be at 200'.
This is all very sad, who knows if the pilot had reacted immediately when the Winch Operator first called for a right turn would it have been enough; rather than the PF questioning the turn request.
