The captain responded without verifying whether the message was meant for him (it wasn’t) and again sounded upset and stressed. This does not appear to have been followed up on.

As the aircraft overflew the threshold of runway 20 at 450 feet above the ground, it was flying 150 knots indicated airspeed with a westerly heading of 255°. The corporate owners of the King Air still sent us to Simuflight where we did a complete course: ground school and simulator. Then, instead of asking them to hold at GURAS as expected, the controller told them to descend to 11,500 feet and cleared the flight for the VOR approach for Runway 02, maintaining minimum approach speed. He continued to descend as he searched for it. Congratulations on this excellent venture… what a great idea! That's it. Find and book BS326 flights on Trip.com and save up to 55%.

During these conversations, his voice was calm and professional.

[1](p4) Most of the Nepalis killed in the crash were medical students who were returning home during a break from school. The report also suggests the pilots seemed disoriented while landing and had lost sight of the runway. The six-member commission was also assisted by Captain Salahuddin Rahmatullah, the head of the Aircraft Accident Investigation Group of the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh,[26] and Nora Vallée, senior investigator for the Transportation Safety Board of Canada,[27] where the aircraft was manufactured. He said that the controllers could have provided navigational assistance to the pilots once it became apparent that they were disoriented, but they did not. I would have thought there’d be at least some time in smaller, piston-powered complex aircraft (landing gear, variable-pitch propellers) before stepping up to something that large and turbine-powered.

ATC: Turn right and you have the runway. I suspect he would have been upset at being questioned by anyone. The actual prices will be shown at time of booking.)

They passed the GURAS approach fix to the right of their intended track. There is a point, though, that his self-declaration form submitted in annual medicals did not mention this medical history, nor the fact that he used to smoke, even though both were meant to be listed.
