probably a good idea.
thinking about this: 1. his marker panel was either not turned on or was broken. 2. mexico city's outer marker could have been inop. (a marker beacon is a transmitter that emmits a cone like radio signal straight up widening with altitude to a max width of something like a 1/4 mile or something, it's not something that you can see on the ground at night. daytime? perhaps.)
or 3. he didn't have the right frequency tuned in for the ILS/LOC approach or NDB.
