When a landing aircraft is within 3NM and a little over 1500 feet from touchdown it is very likely to have it's landing-lights turned on. I'm sure that is the streak of light which can be seen coming down. |

I'm sure that is the streak of light which can be seen coming down. If you look at the FR24 traces you will see on its second approach it suddenly pulled up to 3k feet before then suddenly plummeting down wards. |

Can anyone make out the orientation of the aircraft just as it is about the hit the ground from the lights?

Are we looking at a stall? It's not a nice subject to discuss  But, from the data from FR24 it looks like after the second missed approach it climbed steeply but did not increase airspeed that much. It then seems to have dropped out of the sky from 3,950 ft. If it went thru a micro burst (windshear scenario) at that point a stall is highly likely, with not much height or air speed to be able to recover? Only my thoughts. |
