The 500 hour assigned pilot evidently had some problems.
In this case, 500 hours alone isn’t readiness. Mastery is relative. Factors effecting it are also relative. She may have clocked 300 hrs over the AZ desert after school.
The AE passenger plane was on course, but even so was still left a sitting duck. I haven’t heard why. 😕
The jet was where it was supposed to be 'on course. on glideslope' lining up its ILS.

Spotty training barely getting by, why I called her a dabbler. Mastery is by definition mastery. She had mastered taxiing, maybe, communication fail never heard her, control in level flight, no.

She would have done well to have done that. Low-level NVG @ night. Terrain flight in the day. It doesn't matter if there is traffic, if you are barred from being in their way and you can manage it. The pros will be where they should be.
