Greetings, Richard!
On 14 Jun 97, Richard Brice entered the following ASCII codes for the
express viewing pleasure of Bill Wunsch:
RB> As I recall, they were given an old altimeter setting. I think someone
RB> on the Board probably has the information.
They appear to have hit trees about 20 feet from their tops - the trees
averaged 60 feet in height, and were on a 700 foot ridge about three miles
from the runway threshold.
They were using two hour old ATIS info. Had they asked for and properly set
the latest altimeter setting, it would have made about 80 feet of difference.
They were, however, about 300 feet below the MDA when they hit the trees.
