From a June 2007 aviation interviews.com gouge:
To fill you in, the 'her' is a Mesa lady captain, asked this applicant a question:
Wow. Lose the Glideslope and you're gonna descend to 100 ft above the TDZE lights?!?!
Seriously?!?!?
"She said the MDA changes and go missed"
Duh! The lady captain is absolutely correct. You have to now use the LOC mins, since the glideslope is out of service. MDA changes, you must use the higher LOC only mins. Go Missed, brief the LOC-only approach, and then shoot the approach again.
Check his attitude: "I don't think she knew" LOL!
The scariest part is not just the fact this applicant responded he'd go down to 100 feet above the lights if he lost the glideslope... the scariest part is that his OTHER friends ALL AGREED with him.
Man, the money I would pay to see the look on the face of a Mesa IOE captain if his/her new hire FO said to continue to 100 ft above the lights if the glideslope went out.
To fill you in, the 'her' is a Mesa lady captain, asked this applicant a question:
You loose GS inside final approach fix what do you do? I told her I would continue the approach till 100ft above TDZE and if I had the req...in sight I would land..she didn't lke that. But honelsty I don't think she knew! She first said the MDA changes..but I don't think that is right if you are already inside the FAF. Then she said, I should go missed! I asked some people after the interview and they agreed with me..so double check what you would do.
