yeah I guess it was pilots error more than anything. However I think there could have been better communications. My opinion

BS The controller used the correct phraseology for ILS with GS unuseable. Pilot followed bad data. Aircraft are only cleared for LOC when the approach is published as a LOC Approach. Hope U dont fly.

The Correct ATC phraseology for ILS with glideslope inop is: "(A/C ID) CLEARED ILS RWY SIX LEFT APPROACH, GLIDESLOPE UNUSEABLE" ATC will only call it a localizer approach if it is published as a localizer approach. ATC used the correct phraseology. The pilots didn't hear it, get the NOTAMS or consult their RADAR Altimeter. FAAH Handbook 7110.65 Air Traffic Controller's Handbook and Pilot Controller Glossary. legitgm789 I wonder what new rule they are going to make for these pilot's oversight.

The pilot was flying low when landing and crashed into some hills. How did anyone survive ?

I dont get this? how can it crash?

Stupid, how would ATC ever clear you for an ILS approach with a INOP glide slope? That would render it a LOC approach only. The term cleared for "ILS" would never be used. The pilots should know this before the flight when reading the NOTAMS for the destination. Tragic all around.

as a pilot i can say that tragedy could've been avoided.
