Verifying tale

Many preachers seem to be telling a story of a pilot who ignored a GPWS (Ground Proximity Warning System) warning, saying "shut up, gringo!". This flight seems to be the most likely candidate from the details of the story. Are there transcripts of the cockpit voice recorder of this incident to verify this account?

What happened to the flight number?

Today, flight 011 operates only from Madrid to Bogotá.

accident cause

Even if the pilot made a was intercepting the localizer at the wrong angle, how did the aircraft descend below the MDA? I thought standard ILS procedure was to maintain a certain altitude (prescribed by ATC) until the glideslope capture occurs. Wouldn't the pilot/copilot/flight engineer have seen on the radio altimeter that the pilot was descending too fast?

This article makes no sense

So you write, the aircraft captured the ils as is standard, but on the wrong track. What do you mean on the wrong track, you can't capture an ils on the wrong track. Then you write they descended below the MDA, an ils doesn't have an MDA, it has a DH. And then you say THIS CAUSED the pilot to begin a right turn? That doesn't make sense at all! Do pilots always make a right turn when descending below MDA or DH or whatever you're trying to say.

Where did you get this information from. It's nonsense in the way it is described here!

Either correct it or delete the whole article.
