If the military were making unauthorized transmissions on the Mandatory Frequency, I hope to hell they did not actually contribute in some way to this accident.
#LOCALIZER FREQUENCY FULL#
I can't see anyone flying all the way to the airport center, and completing a full procedure ILS when at that point u can just as easily take the LOC BC full procedure with a headwind instead.Īrgue that the weather was too poor for the LOC BC, but why was Borek flying that approach then? Same procedure only with vectors if it's at an airport with an operational tower. At no point in that procedure is it easy to mistake the VOR for the ILS, you would notice instantly from the lack of G/S and b/c the VOR would be off runway centerline. I probably wouldn't circle at the bottom for 17 though. It would have saved about ten minutes, rather than completing the LOC BC as number 2 behind Borek. I would descend to my 100/25 safe, self vector onto the ILS by OBS'ing the runway with my RNAV and intercepting the inbound track, and complete a straight in ILS. I know what I would have done coming in from the South in the flight levels at an uncontrolled airport. There is no DME arc, it's a full procedure ILS. THE AIRSPACE WITHIN 80 NM RADIUS 744301N 945810W THE AIRSPACE WITHIN 10 NM RADIUS 744301N 945810WĬLASS D RESOLUTE MTCA IS ESTABLISHED AS FLW: No positive or radar control would have been available on the approach.ĬLASS D RESOLUTE CTL ZONE IS ESTABLISHED AS FLW: So on that day, the flight would have been cleared out of controlled airspace as it descended below FL270 and would have just needed to report intentions and postion as required for operating in the Mandatory Frequency (MF) area. The MTCA, control tower and radar were not due to be operational until 3 days after this accident occurred. The only operational impact this has is to increase the VFR Weather Minima within the zone. The first NOTAM created a Class D Control Zone but since there isn't an operating control tower, it automatically reverts to Class E airspace. Resolute Bay is in Northern Domestic Airspace and the closest controlled airspace is normally overhead at FL270.
