Descending? I wasn't there so I'm not going to pass any kind of judgement. I'm just trying to understand what happened.
He said he had the approach lights, So he was free to descend form MDA to 100' above TDZE. I can see his statement "got the runway at 50 feet" may cause a little trouble with the feds.
