Agnostique75, Thanks. Brevity is the soul of wit! You can quote me on that, if you like. Although they are both errors, one is all but planned, the other is unexpected. Love the French Riviera, by...

I read that the other runway was closed for repairs or maintenance, at the time of the crash. At the risk of oversimplification, is it possible, that they'd never flown into runway 18, even in...

Sorry Dog is, I think, who I got the 40 or 50 foot height from. I figured, since he's near the site, he could take out an old camera range finder or something and double check the height, since trees...

Tubby Linton, Maybe this tool should be used, before a planned landing at an unfamiliar airport or runway. It seems very thorough. It may have prevented this crash, if it does turn out to be CFIT.
