Re: ATC major error CDG
Does the Airbus A320 not have a Radar Altimeter? Standard setup normally includes 2 such instruments I believe.

Re: ATC major error CDG
The very short summary begs so many questions!
eg: what QNH had they noted from the ATIS?
Did the EGPWS not sound a TOO LOW PULL UP warning before ATC told the crew of the MSAW warning?

Re: ATC major error CDG
Why did they not g/a at minima - over 18 seconds before action?
Had they got the curtains drawn?
Did they have a clue what they were doing?
Once again, the French (ATC this time) help to try to create an accident.

Yep, all of the above. However, the frogs started it.
And, what was he doing talking to a frog aircraft in frog.

The operating aircraft was an Airhub Airlines ( me neither) A320 , a subsidiary of Getjet on behalf of Air Sweden/ Norwegian, possibly the first hole in the cheese
When all else fails, read the instructions.
