Exactly! That's exactly the point. Why was that formal procedure available when self-evidently it wasn't fit-for-purpose?

Aside weather radar, EGPWS, NV, FLIR, moving maps, Black Rock light and paper maps that may have saved the day, if it was the only formal procedure available the strategy 1) let down to 200' 2) follow the procedure will have the inevitable consequences.

If it wasn't the only formal procedure available, one question is: why was APBSS chosen?
