Yes. Descent rate is a critical factor in such a scenario.
I give pause to labeling this anything but pilot error.
However, like the other crash, I await the actual report and more info.
“I give pause to labeling this anything but pilot error.”
I would too. But I have also worked for huge corporations doing maintenance. And nine times out of ten what they call “operator error” was actually cause and effect from “corporate policy” that causes maintenance neglect.
Nine times out of ten it was because corporate refused to buy brake shoes or address safety issues and the operator had no choice but to drive it or get fired. But accidents are always labelled as operator error.
So I know corporate neglect is also a real thing and the most common cause of these things.
