The 737 accident with Brown is indeed a good case to compare to the Cali
incident. It was, I believe, a steam gauge aircraft. Situational awareness
seems to be more at the heart of the issue though. NDB approaches offer
particular difficulty to a good number of pilots. I wonder if this was a
factor in the 737 accident. (This one I have not read the report on)
