I cannot believe the crew were anything but conscientious in carrying out there task so one can only assume, there was a deficiency in the way the terrain information was presented or the way the procedure was designed. As I mentioned previously, I don't understand why the prescribed track went directly overhead a 300' high lump of granite and brick.
Alphanumeric, to blame the crew in such simplistic terms puts your own professionalism in doubt.
The report clearly mentions that the approach briefing notes and moving map contained data showing blackrock and its heights etc . It did not contain any comment as to whether the crew accessed such information
