Yeah, airspeed and altitude, that's the ticket. You run out of either
one and you are in a world of hurt. You got radar altimeters, baro
altimeters, GPS altimeters, and, oh yeah, look out the window. And the
airplane feeling ree sluggish because it is flying too slow
and wallowin
Just saying they didn't HAFTA have it for seemingly such a simple approach
with runway in sight from many miles out. 'Understood they were cleared for

He got more than that on the day of the crash, didn't he?
At any rate, isn't it pretty simple?
You deploy your flaps and wheels, establish your glide attitude, and i
