"High speed approach"?
I'm an instrument rated pilot and I've never heard of a "high speed approach". The article doesn't list a source for the accident report or any other official document so we can read/see what that phrase actually means, and the article only links that phrase to a general article about instrument approaches. But a high speed approach is not a type of instrument approach. It sounds colloquial, but there needs to be more explanation/citation if this is meant to be a partial explanation for the mistakes made in the cockpit.

I can gather from the context that they were probably coming in at higher than normal speed, but this is not a standard procedure as that phrase implies (as well as the link). It sounds like the real problem was probably the use of non-standard procedures (including but probably not limited to higher speeds), though there again doesn't seem to be any way to verify that based on the citations in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.17.20.84 (talk) 09:47, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
