sounds like they misread the approach plate or had the wrong one.

2 words......Situational Awareness

 

[Dr Pokenhiemer]

After reading the NTSB report, it looks like they lost track of where they were. They went down to 2600 and leveled off until they passed the airport, then started on down to MDA. It should've been 2600 to the marker then down to MDA. It aslo says they crossed the marker at 3900 where it should've been 2600 or above. True--3900 is above 2600.

I am in no way flaming on the crew. I look at the NTSB reports to see why these planes go down. We can learn alot from this--Doesn't matter how many hours you have or what types of acft you have flown, lose situational awareness just once or for a minute and it can bite us when we least expect it.

God Bless the crew and pax! All were good people.

You knew them personally?

Titty,

I knew the Captian personally, and can confirm that he was a Great Person, a Great Pilot, And a Great Friend who will be missed by many. I hope you sleep better.

To all , when you make a mistake, tell your friends about it.
When a friend tells you about a mistake he made, listen.
Learn from each other's mistakes, because you dont have time to make them all yourself

Sleep better?

Dude, I just asked a question.

Sorry tittyjet, I was thinking of something else when I posted that. Not directed at you.
