No. The ILS localizer was 260 meters from the threshold, not 2.1 NM (3800m).

- DoctorOetker 2y agoWhy would there be a warning for an "obstacle" 4km away from the end of the runway? 3800 - 2800 = 1km. Did the plane skid for 1km before crashing into the obstacle?
- sio8ohPi 2y agoBecause the system is bureaucratic and stupid. Notices warning pilots about irrelevant obstacles are, literally, a meme.

- bombcar 2y agoAlmost anything that is 500m causes an obstacle notice to exist. There are tons of them and most mean nothing unless you’re flying an overweight small plane in the dark desert heat.
