I find it hard to believe there would have been anything on the CVR that would be useful in preventing a repeat of this event.
Really, you mean like trying to figure out why the 2 drivers were lined up on a taxiway, when there is absolutely no reason for that to occur at night with all of that lighting? According to the NTSB, they claim they were on the runway, and didnt see any aircraft. Perhaps the CVR would have shed some light on that.
The NTSB never said that. That's been inferred by posters on here. Without having seen the raw data, radio altimeters report the closest obstacle in the signal path, including an aircraft fuselage.
The NTSB report showed the FDR data, when the began to climb, at the lowest point was 59 feet. That was after PAL aircraft whose tail is at 56 feet.
Yes, you are correct, they did not say 3 feet. (but 59-56 is well...)
I think that given where the ac measures altitude from, even the radalt, the landing gear is below that...actually, it is a bit of a miracle they missed them.
It is interesting that the report shows screen shots from a video, but does not show a shot when the AC was directly over the PAL ac....they do have it though.
