It’s generally regarded as easier (psychologically) to carry on with an approach than it is to throw it away. Not long ago, we changed one of our responses at minimums to “Continue” instead of “Land”...

Really good report, well worth a read. A lot of very relevant HF stuff in there as well.

An interesting detail is that they were cleared and flew the approach in vis well below minima but were...

RAT 5 I agree. It’s not about pillorying the crew, it’s about understanding what led them down the path they went so we can avoid repeating it. In a “just culture” we should be able to learn from...

Only if you get it wrong, as the instrument approach gradient is 3degs as is the PAPI from the charts I’ve seen.

I have to agree. Also, we only see the 737 after it has started a GA and is on an...

I don’t know about at MDA but the PAPIs were very likely visible during the latter stages of the approach. Why? Because on the airport video you can see the 737 on finals for both approaches, so the...

We do, although unless you’re over the sea or flat ground there’s not enough information on the chart to tell much more than yes, there’s something underneath you.

Back to the incident, I too am...

Possibly, though you’d have thought they’d have said something afterwards and/or performed the WEM at the time...

I would really like to know how they got themselves to almost sea level short of the runway so I can avoid the trap they fell into next time I’m in that position.

I thought the baro altitude is referenced to standard then the adjustment made for QNH elsewhere, like a transponder. Stand to be corrected...

You do that at MDA. If you can’t see it you go-around. If you lose sight of it later on, you go-around. What you don’t do is carry on lower and lower *hoping* to see something: many have died doing...

Having watched the video of the two approaches viewed from the same point, the first one does appear to be seriously low, four reds on the PAPI (if they can even see it). The airport video doesn’t...
