At a press briefing on Saturday, NTSB member Todd Inman said the flight data recorder and ADS-B data put the regional jet at 325 feet AGL at the point of impact, plus or minus 25 feet while the controller’s console showed the helicopter at 200 feet, the ceiling of the flight corridor it was flying at the time.

Around 13 seconds before touchdown as the aircraft was descending through 153 feet above ground level (AGL) the TSB said the CRJ900s indicated airspeed increased to 154 knots whereas the ground speed did not change appreciably, consistent with a performance-increasing wind gust.

The 757 was cramped, yet fun and nostalgic as it’s the biggest jet I could actually find that serves our farthest state. The terrain reaches well over 4,000 feet agl, so a good vertical rise is seen. You can pop right in by initiating a flight right at 5,000 feet agl.

Though it’s not as overtly revolutionary as the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) or Safe Return enabled by Garmin Autoland on Cirrus’ SF50 Vision Jet, the reimagined flight deck in the new SR G7 and other improvements make a more immediate impact—because pilots benefit from them on every flight, from the moment you press the start button.

The reason why the crew operated the aircraft outside of limitations and continued an unstable approach that resulted in an accident, was that they were racing another jet to the runway. The GOM also called for the airspeed to be “on target” at such altitudes respectively. The response from the PIC was, “we know it.”

The AC states limited coverage below 5,000′ AGL, but in our experience you should start getting reception within 1,000′ AGL in all but the most remote or mountainous regions. For example, ground-based systems that require a line of sight may have relatively limited coverage below 5,000 feet above ground level (AGL).

After we decided this, we heard a Challenger jet announce “Taxiing to 26 for takeoff”. It’s worth noting that Shmulik had a close call in the past: a jet pulled onto the runway in front of him with no radio call. This near miss was avoided only by the jet taking off immediately in front of him. He tried again, with no reply.
