Corporate Airlines (AA Connection) J32 down in MO

[apache]

I just don't know offhand what GPWS alert would prevent a situation where the gear and flaps are down, approach speed is not excessive, and the sink rate is not excessive. The GPWS thinks the airplane is landing, it just doesn't know where. JMHO

I have removed my post because I do not want to offend anyone who might be sensitive to the truth. I was defending the allegation that Corpex rubber stamps type ratings.

I think thats the reason EGWPS and TAWS was brought up. TAWS(GPWS) has an artificial TCF or terrain floor based on the nearest runway in its database and regardless of AC config it will alert you going below this floor even on perferctly flat terrain. It's to bad they didn't get around to putting it in sooner than the march deadline.

From a member of one company who lost airmen recently to Corporate Airlines crews...

We at Pinnacle feel for your loss, we first hand know the darkness that has settled upon your pilot group and wish all of you the best in these times.

Godspeed to ALL the crew members who lost their lives and to their families and loved ones.

My thoughts are with your pilot group and their families........

Another accident within a week. Why? My heart goes out to you, the family members and friends of these two brave pilots and the passengers on this flight. I just found out that the co-pilot was from Cincy, and I think that my Scott knew him from hanging around the Clermont County Airport. I know the pain you are going through first-hand after experiencing it myself just a year ago. Accept the support of those who offer their help to you. Friends are what you need right now.

Some Respect Please

Please, a little respect in this difficult time. At 3C we are a close family, we take some of your remarks very personally.

The crew was a remarkable one. I am proud to say they were both friends.

We all speculate, it's human nature. DON'T DO IT HERE!

Whatever may come of this, remember those who are no longer with us. Everything else is inconsiquiential to the lose of life.

For those of you with coments of support, thank you.

For the rest of you, I need not mention your names, go away. You will never earn my respect.
