Now I know that the Passeur Airport Monitor
(http://www4.passur.com/hpn.html) does not give an officially recognized
altitude readout, but if you set that site to begin on 4/23 at about 16:15
local time you can track the flight. If you compare their altitude readout
to other aircraft flying the same approach it seems evident that they were
below the approach segment altitude even before they crossed the outer
marker. In fact it shows them crossing HESTR already 100' too low (1900').

True, but 100' is within PTS tolerance prior to the FAF. After the FAF, they
just need to stay on the GS.

I can not fathom what this instructor was thinking continuing the
approach so far below the glideslope, even after an altitude alert from
the tower.

Yup, that's where it was totally botched.
