ATSB Probes Air New Zealand Boeing 777 Descent Below Minimum Altitude
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) is investigating an incident on 18 November where an Air New Zealand Boeing 777-300ER descended below minimum safe altitude while on approach to land at Brisbane airport. (www.flightglobal.com) Plus d'info...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
A very obvious mistake by both pilots more so if APPcon or tower alerted them and still descended another 500 ft. This could be then end of their careers at this airline anyway.
"The ATSB will review recorded data, interview the flight crew and gather additional data. The investigation is expected to be complete by April 2018."
oh, the wheels of bureaucracy turn ever so slowly...

that is why I always distrust digital information.
Okay, was it en-route or in the terminal area? On Approach in to BN then below G/P? CASA use a bigger stick to hit pilots with for that. But lets wait till all sides of the event have their say. Some years ago on a domestic flight into CN, on a DME/NDE let down, the Aero broke cloud and was below the minima. Eventually a CASA employee was a pax on a later flight and noted the same thing happen. The Approach was re-designed. Can only wait for the full report to surface.
while on approach to land at Brisbane airport.
En-route at 3000 feet?
SIR, CAN I READ IT FOR U? while on approach to land at Brisbane airport.
I was replying to the original poster, who asked if it was en-route. It seems like sort of an odd question, no?
