Fullwings:
In my experience, it is rare in real life to encounter conditions that deteriorate to the extent that there is an adequate reference at DA(H)/MDA but not later on in the approach, so when...

who would feel comfortable descending in manual flight below DA without the target in sight.?
But that's exactly what existing minima expect you to do

Indeed; I expressed it badly. By target I...

As Slast has pointed out, the Canadian rules are "sus" in this area, apparently allowing descent without seeing the actual runway/PAPI.

Indeed; if reported correctly, they seem to be. However,...

To me, this sort of thing is a compelling reason NOT to deliberately expose both pilots to the same potential problem.

If I interpret this as to what I think you mean, are you leaning towards the...

Investigation report stated the PF disconnected the autopilot and reduced the pitch from 0.5° nose up to 1.2° nose down.

Ouch! That's get the ROD screaming. I wonder what happened to the speed....

In the case of the St Maartin incident, why did the crew use RNAV for the approach rather than use the VOR approach which is more accurate.

Is that true? I left the fleet before RNAV was...

What surprises me is that the TSB made no comment about WestJet deciding that this was a non-reportable incident.

Is an Airmiss a reportable incident in Canada? SFO was similar to an airmiss,...

I thougth that TSB investigated EVENTS, in this case the crew applied the right decision, went around and saved the day, so no event or Outcome, as the TEM teaches us. TC is the right agency to...

G.Y.S. and others: no one has answered the question which others are asking, as to how they arrived in this predicament. That is very pertinent; was it a crew mess up, a system malfunction, an NPA...

One would assume ATC would have been looking out of the window, perhaps with binoculars; they could have some input, but perhaps Prune is not on their radar. What is certain is that some guys in...

The 2nd landing was with a 'healthy' margin beyond the threshold, compared to the bigger visitors; so for a smaller cousin it was perhaps acceptable. But back to my question, which only the crew can...

Such cross checks are fundamental airmanship, however, they are not in typical SOPs, and the point has been made in thread after thread about the demise of airmanship and the rise of SOP dogmatism. ...

Rat5, are you suggesting that an altimeter check is a bad practice?

Quite the opposite. In Line Training & Line Flying I used to demonstrate the X-check of RA 2500' & bro made sense knowing where...

In seven operators, I've never seen anyone use it as a crosscheck, Herod. Rad alt and baro alt seldom match, really just over the sea and Norfolk, so (probably) nobody has an SOP to do that.

Oh...

For the sake of the argument, yes they did what they're supposed to, i.e. go around,

Given that, I presume, they had 500' set in Baro and that there would have been GPWS call out at +100 &...

What I find odd is that there are no DME/ALT checks after 1600' at 4.8nm. EFIS a/c do LNAV/VNAV descents to MDA. (the chart shown in #17 is not an RNAV approach. Is there one?) However, older,...

So, you would indeed go missed at the D2.0 [MA10] point on a CDA before reaching 500 feet.

Interesting. Because all CDA SOP's I've used are to GA at MDA if no contact. In Europe I've not come...

First attempt, whether they were too high or too low, proper response of the crew, right? Second attempt, no signs of sweat.

This being a Professional Pilots forum I'm interested in what they did...
