Challenger Crew Did Not Go Around After Warning
The captain pressed ahead with landing a Challenger at Oxford Airport, ignoring the requirement for a go-around after a high rate of descent warning.

The flight crew of a Bombardier Challenger 601 landed at Oxford Airport in the UK despite realizing that the aircraft was on an excessively high rate of descent and getting a ground proximity warning alert, according to a serious incident report published by the country’s Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) late on Friday. Investigators concluded that the captain should have followed the operations manual requirement for a maximum gradient climb or a go-around.
