Veteran pilot backs immediate descent in TWA 514 crash
L D Brundage testified at an NTSB hearing that he would have descended immediately after clearance on an unpublished radar route, mirroring the actions of the TWA 514 crew in the December 1 crash that killed all 92 aboard near Dulles. The hearing probes safety concerns raised by the Air Line Pilots Association amid a federal investigation.

Brundage Rejects FAA Radar Vector Limitation in Flight 514 Case
Brundage argued radar vector guidance would persist until reaching a published route, placing Flight 514 at 1,800 feet on approach. Other pilots testified that approach clearance could let immediate descent, though many would still verify minimum altitude before lowering. Veteran captains said pilots might have acted similarly to the crash scenario.
