Kinda elucidates the value of personal minimums...

Assuming there were a sutable alternate airport and the C172 contained
adequate fuel, I view this weather as excellent conditions for
training, since a real missed approach seems to be a rarity for those
of us who are not professionals.

It will be interesting to read what the investigators find.


Only if both the pilot and instructor are up to the task that day. There is
one good reason to fly such a mission, and many more reasons to cancel.

From the Passur site it looks as if the pilot was frequently and
consistently low at various phases of the approach, and the instructor did
not correct him promptly. For example, at one point, outside the outer
marker, the plane is shown at 1200', when the MSA is 1900'.


As you say, it will be interesting to read the reports...
