Good debrief on his mistake

That came up in my recommended, but I refuse to give him the view because of the clickbaity title/thumbnail.
 
I classify "overcommitted" as a form of getthereitis. When things start to go wrong, it's easy to fall into "I want to get on the ground now". That fear prevents you from wanting to fly more, so you continue on.

Good review.

PS> I also experienced the high DA inability to descend situation on my recent flight out west in my Mooney. Very similar to what he described, but I was on a very long approach and it was not an issue for me in the end, but I definitely thought to myself "I'm using everything in my toolbox and still barely descending". He is the first person I've ever heard describe the phenomenon. In my situation I was descending from 12,000 down to an airport with a DA of 4500.

I find that's generally a factor of poor planning or being left high by ATC. I swear some do it because they figure you will be faster an out of their hair faster, but maybe not.

At the end of the day though you need to force yourself to take as much time as it takes to get down, even if it means vectors or circling. I've been there too.
