"GV"?!?
Isn't that the identifier for one of those little SEL Grummans?
Tiger? I think it is? Or, maybe a "Cheetah"?
20K+ hours in that and you are not quite around the world even once.
I didn't and haven't found any reference in any of the CVR transcripts where these guys x-checked the FAF to GS intercept. If they did and got a good GS indication where it was supposed to be, man that would be a real rough deal. Ditto on the Tune and ID full time. If you bother to tune it, before your hand leaves the com/nav stack, you otta be pullin the ident. In any weather. We are professionals, right?
Feel for the families and their needless loss. Let us all be students of their demise rather than judges.

Sorry, GV, couldn't resist. I think the grummans are the most disrespected by ATC with regard to their ID and felt compelled to redirect the thread.
