Seems like they over dramatized it . Flying blind ? In broad daylight . Were the ceilings that low ? Was the cockpit that smoked up?
What are just basic instruments on a aircraft like that ?
IT is SOP when doing a PAR that the controller talks him right to the RWY unless the pilot cancels the approach, it is a constant patter with no breaks longer then 10 secsAccording to the news here, the tower had to talk him in every inch of the way, kinda like one of those hollywood movies where the pilots are dead and a passenger takes over. Also sounded as if stearing and brakes also failed as he skidded off the runway. There was also cell phone video in the cabin could only see two three rows in the smoke.
