According to the GOM, either pilot could call for a go-around, yet neither did despite the published stabilized approach criteria being violated.

High-pressure conditions decrease altimeter accuracy, affecting terrain clearance and aircraft spacing. Here is an example of an FDC NOTAM (domestic format) asking pilots to verify the aircraft’s departure procedure is correct: !FDC FDC NOTAMs also provide information about TFRs and other special airspace.
