could make the situation worse, so that's why these rules evolved, based on previous experience.

It does appear that there were multiple runway changes but I believe this was because the controller recognized that task saturation was the problem. They tried repeatedly to accommodate what they thought the pilot was doing, but delays in understanding and loss of orientation were confusing...

The first go around was directed because of speed conflict on rwy 4 with an airliner. It was a good call, in general, but the sequence from here leads to the mishap. Please listen to how she accepted the high crosswind runway 35. It sounds unprocessed, interpreted incorrectly by PIC as a...
