@miami_rick Unstable approach at 1,000 AGL always calls for an immediate go-around. Pan Am led the way in training to avoid crashes just like this after hard lessons learned in the 1970s. Poorly trained and sloppy always leads to disaster. The lessons must be learned. Lives are at stake.
@SteveNomadic Not to mention at 1000 feet agl and you’re unstable on the approach. That calls for an immediate go-around. Sloppy and poorly trained. Always the recipe for disaster.
We did this a few years ago.

Your Clipper crew in 1935. These aviators trail-blazed the Pacific to make Pan American the first to cross the Pacific with commercial air service from Alameda, California to Manila, Philippines.
