However, the circumstances of the accident are now becoming clearer
and not weather related.

Bird strike? Fuel related problem?



I thought the point of a glide-path approach was that it is a glide, not
only low propulsive power but air brakes as well to reduce airspeed. So as
long as the airframe stays balanced, no airframe breakages etc then it
should glide in unless someone or something intefered with the control
surfaces.
