  • The crash of a Beechcraft 1900 in 2008. The aircraft was following an Aloha 737 between Honolulu and Kaui when it descended into the Pacific Ocean in the middle of the night. The sole occupant of the Beech 1900C was killed in the crash.

    I'm a pilot and I do like the way you described the lack of interest in freight operations safety. It's definitely something I could feel to a certain extent when I transitioned from pax to cargo, although everyone pretends safety is their top priority of course.

    "Black hole approaches" over unlighted areas such as the ocean in this story have claimed many lives. In the simulators, we all emphasize to our trainees the importance of splitting their scan between the runway and the instruments when doing visual approaches or the visual segment of an instrument approach. Absolutely essential to staying alive.

    Great recap and analysis. It's unsettling -- and very said -- how a single oversight, albeit a big one, can mean the difference between heading home for the evening and resting forever on the ocean floor. RIP.

    the way you tell these stories are just so imfortative yet so emotional. Im a student pilot and I watch a lot of these types of videos and usually they are just infortmative but having an emotinal effect makes me think, What if that were me? and probably makes me learn more about what happened to prevent it myself. Thank you

    I dropped out of college in 1974 to fly co-pilot on a Beech 99 mail run in Texas. Those needed two pilots back then, but there were also a lot of pilots available. Different worlds of automation between then and now, so I guess I'm not too surprised this guy would be by himself in an airplane that large. I'm more surprised that he busted the MEA on a visual approach with traffic in sight. It just seems to me like the automation that put him up there by himself is also what did him in. Night time over water, never been there, seems spooky af.

    • @a320nick
      @a320nick Год назад

      Yes, it would be very black featureless - impossible to judge height looking out the window and if too low then glideslipes will be useless anyway. Like you said though, why wasn't he sticking to his MEA...?
      I was wondering if he could see his instrument panel.
      A seagull at night would cause a lot of damage, two, even more. They would get eaten by sharks very quickly,

    Flew 2 pilot mail and cargo in Hawaii up until I retired a couple years ago. Day and night. This accident could still happen again years later. Sadly, the whole aviation industry is on its butt. There hasn't been a real, appointed FAA Administrator for about a year now. The DOT is more concerned about which gender can use which bathrooms and creating PC acronyms like Notices to Air Missions (NOTAMS) rather than Notices to Airmen than they are about the terrible GA Fatal Accident record. GA is killing many innocents each month due to awful pilot judgement.

    @camsmeltzer9388 Год назад

    I’m a student and we practice S turns on final to lose altitude on final. More in engine out practice where you’re just high but a circle would drive you too low. One point of reference at night with darkness every where else, I can see how the disorientation could develop. Perhaps coupled with wake there was increased sink???
