Hello everyone: I was an investigator at CENIPA, the Brazilian correspondent of the American NTSB here in Brazil, and I have been a big fan of Greg Feith for many years. What particularly impresses me about Mr. Feith is his ability to comment on the complex topic of investigations in a clear way for the lay public but without losing the necessary ethics and technicality. CENIPA learned a lot by observing the way the NTSB usually deals with the release of information to the public during investigations of major accidents and I believe that in this case we will have a better dissemination of factual data throughout this important investigation. Brazil is the third largest manufacturer of commercial aircraft in the world and we have a strong technical capacity for research in this area. Congratulations on Mr. Feith's announcement. Edson Tritiack - Sao Paulo (Brazil)
Can you confirm on the CVR pilots did not refer to icing, but First officer kept demanding more power? How is that consistent with the popular speculation of icing? In cell phone audio it sounds as if they were in Hotel mode, Has CENIPA investigated the Hydraulic Auxilliary pump setting yet?
As an active airline professional who is part of an accident response team, it is so refreshing to hear an “ aviation expert” that actually know what they’re talking about. That was one of the most solid analysis that I’ve seen.
I did see a lot of these documentaries years ago. One of those documentaries was called Air Crash Investigation AKA Mayday and he did explain how some of these accidents were cause. If you haven't seen this program, I recommend you do but be advise you have 24 seasons to go through.
having watched air crash investigation videos growing up, it's great seeing a familiar face explaining the situation. He is absolutely the right person to talk about the incident.

That's what proper 'experts' do. Its part of the job. Trouble is today we have got so used to 'experts' who really aren't experts st all particularly on the internet. They were always like this in the past but Aircraft Safety is not political unlike many other 'disasters, or shouldn't be anyway, so we have 'experts' who know what they are talking about. Only thing contradicting this when a high profile international passenger aircraft type crashes and it turns political simply because so many millions of passengers use them and sales may be affected. But I don't believe even they could influence proper accountable experts.

Why? CVR tape already disproves icing. CO-pilot was distressed demanding more power Aircraft had known hydraulic problems. Low hydraulic pressure activated Hotel mode in flight -problem solved.
Greg Feith is a tough no nonsense investigator. His clarity on the subject is miles above the rest. Got to meet at Oshkosh Airventure several years ago. He’s a down to earth, likable guy. Respect!
The clarity of the train of thoughts is amazing with this man. Oratory impecable, ppl commenting should learn with this one. 👏 Respect to this very wise sir.
On that plane there was a 5-year-old girl who was traveling with her father to spend Father's Day together (last Sunday was Father's Day here in Brazil), when the firefighters went to collect the bodies, the two were hugging each other. There was also a Venezuelan child who was with a puppy, all of them were found charred (including the dog itself), all the passengers were found charred. This accident was very tragic and much heavier than you guys imagine and the families are devastated, there were many people whose dreams were interrupted and they lost their lives. At this moment there is not much to ask questions or question because unfortunately we do not have all the answers, just pray for the families, friends and loved ones of the victims, Please pray for the families! 🙏 I wish everyone reading this a great day/night and good health always!
This info shook me. I am on the outer edge of the aviation community. I've never witnessed a crash or been at a crash scene. God willing, I never will.
This is horrific, the only blessing is they would have died before hitting the ground , its very unlikely they were conscious and posses conscious awareness for longer than a few seconds as oxygen deprivation takes your life within seconds of it occurring ... the people and they way they were found, was as a result of the fire, they were deceased at the time ...
Thank you for reminding me of his last name. I thought that was him. He has investigated tons of big time aviation accidents. I remember seeing him in Air Disaster episodes.
i saw the thumbnail and before i clicked I yelled out thats feith from the investigation series on discovery! good stuff he has a lot of closet fans lol
Greg Feith is the rigth man for this mission no doubts about that" Being a Senior Expert, in this approach he is indeed offering his services to the Brazilian Authorities. And, he is completly imparcial, being a foreign, outsider element. If the Brazilian Authorities want to know really what happened, call Greg Feith for the job.
"The simple principle of accident investigations is you gotta ask why questions until you run out of why questions." Exactly. That is why Greg is one of the greatest to ever investigate air crashes. All the best investigators work this way.
Greg Feith is a legend on Air Crash Investigation/Mayday, a real-life pilot who has appeared in a TV movie about a crash, and a former NTSB investigator. And he has a channel here with Todd Curtis discussing air safety.
Greg Feith single-handedly made aviation safer over his 20 year career. His input on this crash should be heeded and held to a very high standard. That’s how good this guy is. Also, shoutout all my Mayday/Air Crash Investigation/Seconds from Disaster fans! Go Greg go!
Love this guy on Mayday. Not only was he great at his job as an investigator, but he also knows how to explain it to people like me who have very little knowledge of aviation or physics.
Although older, I recognised him straight away, and all that confidence and knowledge still so apparent..such a pleasure to listen to such a talented communicator!
I've seen Greg on "Mayday" and other programs dealing with air crashes. His ability to explain things in clear terms is valuable to learning from mistakes.
This was 100km from my house. A shock for us. Brazilian aviation is cinsidered very secure, we did not have accidents since 2007 in commercial aviation...
@@Afuru1Do you live in Brazil? Anywhere within a radius of 1,000 km of the crash site is either Brazil or Paraguay. If you want to be out of Brazil for good you need a radius of 3,500 km.
Brasileiro é chato fica escrevendo comentários em inglês em canais estrangeiros pra chamar atenção de estrangeiros que estão pouco ae importando com acidentes no Brasil
UPDATE 15 AUG 10:54 GMT: "The transcript of the conversations between the pilot and co-pilot was prepared by the Flight Recorder Data Reading and Analysis Laboratory of Cenipa. The transcript is approximately two hours long. Investigators say that the preliminary analysis of the material indicates that the ATR 72-500 lost altitude suddenly and that, based on the analysis of the cockpit audio alone, it is not possible to identify an apparent cause for the crash. Upon realizing that the plane was losing lift, co-pilot Humberto de Campos Alencar e Silva asked the pilot what was happening. He said that it was necessary to increase power in an attempt to stabilize the aircraft and prevent it from falling. The recording, which ends with screams, confirms that only one minute passed between the loss of altitude and the plane hitting the ground. Analysts say that they did not identify any characteristic warning sounds, such as those indicating fire, electrical failure or engine failure." (CBN/Globo)
I wonder if this plane can be manipulated (remotely?) to experience a sudden drop in altitude like that. Or was there a weird weather anomaly? Clearly both engines were operable. That plane had a very interesting passenger list. Perhaps that offers a clue.
REALLY well done. Tons of great information. No dragging it out. No bull$*^t. No fake AI voices. No dramatic pauses in a word- no "ayy's" and "thee's". No cuts every 5 words. In other words, professional, intelligent, and classy- unlike a lot of RUclips these days.
Brazilian authorities have 30 days to release preliminary report of the accident (mandatory). But a very well known expert in Brazil gathered some tehcnical facts/info and he said they'll might have 99% of the cause enlightened already in this preliminary report. They do not release anything bf, because there's a need to be cautious to deminish all the other possible explanations to the accident
Greg Feith that man REALLY knows what he is talking about. I remember seeing him play a first officer in a TV film called 'Crash, the mystery of flight 1501'. R.I.P to all the passengers and crew onboard that aircraft 🙏😔
I was lucky enough to have Greg as one of my instructors at Metro State College of Denver. It was a NTSB class, and he was probably fairly new with the board. This was probably around 1983.
Fyi: the flight recorders are 100% maintained and they extract everything. Also, CENIPA agents are fantastic investigators. I have full trust and respect for their work. The preliminary reports comes out in one month.
Greg Feith demonstrates he is true expert by explaining complex stuff in such a simple manner that we, the non-experts, understand exactly what he is talking about. Very refreshing to hear from him.
It's Greg Feith! Yes, he was on many Air Crash Investigation show episodes offering insight. It was hard to watch how that plane just fell out of the sky. RIP to all on board and condolences to their families.
This is the straightest, clearest explanation of what was witnessed & debated the past few days. Esp stalls not soley being caused by engine issues & failures, by definition. Sadly, you can hear the propellers operating right up until the crash. And I'd like to believe the pilots were doing everything they could to come out of this catastrophic situation.
@phanoonki Read an article today about this particular plane's mechanical issues - it was grounded many times for repairs & re-repairs the past year. The day before the crash passengers complained about AC problems & "unbearable heat." Odd, because temps at 20K+ feet should be fairly cool. A little stifling, maybe, but hot?
that airplane model must be retired. There has been more than 60 accidents since its introduction in 1989. More than 470 people have perished in those airplanes.
It's an inadequate design for coping with icing: the flying-surfaces can't shed ice as it builds up, destroying lift and reducing the efficiency of the controls. All the redundancy has been designed-out of these so-smart modern-day airliners: many of them don't even "look right".
1:32 Thanks to brilliant NTSB investigators like Mr Firth, flying (especially in the good old USA) is so unbelievably safe. NTSB, though a government agency, is almost unforgivably underrated. Praise them for their FABULOUS record of finding the causes for the accident, and working tirelessly to ensure ANOTHER accident does not occur.
In Brazil we have CENIPA who also does an amazing job keeping us safe in the skies. Because of them Brazil was 17 years without any major incidents (Since TAM 3054).
He has a podcast, Flight Safety Detectives, and he often points out that the NTSB is understaffed and underfunded and we need to insist that our government do better.
The NTSB is one of the few federal agencies that I have a positive opinion of. Sometimes they want to blame the dead pilots for it when it's not always true. The "why" questions Mr Feith refers to often answers many questions.
Greg is the most knowledgeable aviation accident investigator I know of! He's an expert in his field and a gentleman. Rip to the victims tragic accident ❤️
This guy is the authority in air crash investigations. I always enjoy watching his contributions to the shows on air disasters. He’s very well informed and concise.
Great commentary. I fly an ATR for a job and had a previous career as an engineer maintaining them. Pleasing to see someone stating facts and laying the situation out clearly. No conjecture or guessing. 'The facts will speak for themselves'. Those of us at the pointy end of this aircraft are watching any outcomes with interest. We have our suspicions, but they will be kept silent until a formal investigation is complete.
Love this guy. Watched him for years . He’s so knowledgeable, professional and level headed No BS about him He’s the type we need to keep on aviation’s safety at any cost !
Mr. Greg Feith is a brilliant communicator and knows not only aviation but also aerospace technology very well! After his work with Value Jet, Flight 592, 1996, I followed his work within the NTSB. For this tragic flight, I was very sad to see how this plane crashed and that those poor passengers were probably terrified for quite some time. The pilot was young and enthusiastic and really seemed to absent of recklessness. Tragic in every way.
News from the preliminary report indicate that 1) the pilots noticed "a lot of ice" forming on the wings 2) alerts were issue by the plane, including "degraded performance 3) apparently the pilots did not think that this was critical, as they never declared emergency 4) with all that piling up, the plane immediately stalled when performing a right turn to enter the airport zone
Great to hear Greg's views on this accident. He is a leading authority from the NTSB. I remember he led the investigation into the Valuejet crash in the Everglades. Years ago I trained as a pilot and part of that training involved incipient spin and spin recoveries, but we never trained for flat spinning. As Greg mentioned we all want answers as to why this aircraft crashed, but it is important to let the authorities do a methodical investigation which could take time.
Thanks Mr.Feith for information given, my son and I always love looking at your documentaries on airplanes investigations ✈️many love ♥️from Trinidad🇹🇹 in the Caribbean great to see and hear from you again 👌condolences to the families and friends of those precious souls that has been lost RIP 🙏🙏
This is a very impressive delivery of a concise overview of the issues involved in determining what happened with this aircraft. Very articulate and talented delivery. Thank you!
Having pilots trained to respond to these scenarios should not be the answer to these accidents. Cancelling a flight due to weather in order to save lives should be the answer.
@@alemswazzu No, clearly pilots need to be trained to react to these scenarios. However, a company should not proceed with conducting flights through bad weather with certain aircraft frames susceptible to icing more than other platforms merely because the pilots are trained to react to a flat spin. The company is making the broad assumption that because the pilot is trained, the icing and the bad weather are completely countered.
I've been an instructor at the NTSB Academy in the past. This video says a lot without saying much. Basically this video describes the process of investigating the crash but at present there isn't enough information that has been made public yet.
Yeah, I'm not a very eloquent speaker, but he seems like one of the best. Some people in high ranking positions in the world (wink, wink) just spew non-stop verbal diarrhea!
Listening to him you might think no door ever fell off any Air Alaska plane, no faulty systems were ever installed on any planes manufactured in the United States, no wheel ever dropped from an American aircraft, and the list can go on and on: in short, we live in a perfect world (of aviation).
@@lordjim3109 How so? I watched Mayday on TV for years, and all the NTSB Investigators went into great detail about potential and ultimate causes of each crash.
I have been listening to you about aircraft accidents for so many years, I love the way you explain things in such detail, like an instructor would. Thank you so much and look forward to more sir!
@@THADEUS-md6wv I’m not sure, but if the pitot tubes were frozen (even if the wings werent), there may have been an unreliable airspeed issue in the cockpit, similar to air france 447
Hi, Greg. I’ve flown the ATR 72 for almost 5 years. In my opinion, in about 2016, the ATR REMOVED the 3 most important steps to deal with SEVERE ICING from the Memory Items 1) Hold Control Wheel firmly and turn the AP OFF; 2) Descend!!! and 3) Notify the ATC (later).
I assume that is still a described procedure though, just not listed as a “memory” item, yes? I have 7,000 hours in ATR’s and those procedures were a result of the Roselawn accident at my then airline. Even the 737 I fly now requires disconnection of the autopilot in severe icing conditions in addition to prohibiting holding in icing conditions with flaps extended. .
@@olasek7972 Certainly possible. But, when an ATR departs controlled flight in stable cruise while supposedly operating in potentially severe icing conditions, it’s understandable the first thought is an icing-related issue initiated the accident sequence.
It's REALLY unfortunate the video description does not mention Mr. Feith's podcast, *Flight Safety Detectives.* Him and John Goglia (or 'The Cogfather' as I call him 😊) provide so much great information and education. FYI: John Goglia is the *first and only* Airframe and Powerplant mechanic to receive a *presidential appointment* to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Speaks volumes of his knowledge and skills.
I've always appreciated Greg Feith's clear-cut analysis of this subject matter. His contributions to the NTSB, over the years, were superb from what I can tell. Personally, I've always thought that the wing design of this ATR is insufficient. I would NEVER fly on this aircraft given its crash history.
I saw a report this morning 8/12/2024, about 8am CST that the boxes had been recovered. I tend to believe that, given the crash site. Unlike other incidents where things can get hurled long distances. This was flat. No searching. Prayers for the families.
Clear and precise. Thank you. It would have been nice if you had used a small model representation to help us better understand from a visual perspective.
I'm Brazilian. Thank you so much for this enlighting video. Yes, it's for our best interest that the causes of this unbelievable accident are known, and we must learn to be patient and wait as long as it takes to know the truth. Thank you again.
Kudos to Greg for mentioning that not all sources of information can be treated as infallible; the data you can best trust is the data publicly published by the proper officials. Fantastic breakdown of what we know, vs what we need to know.
Greg Feith is one of the best aircraft crash investigators ever to have worked for the National Transportation Safety Board. It's a delight to see, even in retirement, he still is at the highest quality.

The clarity of the train of thoughts is amazing with this man. Oratory impecable, ppl commenting should learn with this one. 👏 Respect to this very wise sir.
On that plane there was a 5-year-old girl who was traveling with her father to spend Father's Day together (last Sunday was Father's Day here in Brazil), when the firefighters went to collect the bodies, the two were hugging each other. There was also a Venezuelan child who was with a puppy, all of them were found charred (including the dog itself), all the passengers were found charred. This accident was very tragic and much heavier than you guys imagine and the families are devastated, there were many people whose dreams were interrupted and they lost their lives. At this moment there is not much to ask questions or question because unfortunately we do not have all the answers, just pray for the families, friends and loved ones of the victims, Please pray for the families! 🙏 I wish everyone reading this a great day/night and good health always!
Just horrible!
This info shook me. I am on the outer edge of the aviation community. I've never witnessed a crash or been at a crash scene. God willing, I never will.
😢💔🐶🙏🏽🇧🇷
This is horrific, the only blessing is they would have died before hitting the ground , its very unlikely they were conscious and posses conscious awareness for longer than a few seconds as oxygen deprivation takes your life within seconds of it occurring ... the people and they way they were found, was as a result of the fire, they were deceased at the time ...
😭
Greg Feith was lead investigator for the roselawn crash. If anyone is an expert on ATR crashes and aircraft safety it is this man.
This dude is Legendary........
Thank you for reminding me of his last name. I thought that was him. He has investigated tons of big time aviation accidents. I remember seeing him in Air Disaster episodes.
i saw the thumbnail and before i clicked I yelled out thats feith from the investigation series on discovery! good stuff he has a lot of closet fans lol
Greg Feith is the rigth man for this mission no doubts about that" Being a Senior Expert, in this approach he is indeed offering his services to the Brazilian Authorities.
And, he is completly imparcial, being a foreign, outsider element. If the Brazilian Authorities want to know really what happened, call Greg Feith for the job.
"The simple principle of accident investigations is you gotta ask why questions until you run out of why questions." Exactly. That is why Greg is one of the greatest to ever investigate air crashes. All the best investigators work this way.
Greg Feith is a legend on Air Crash Investigation/Mayday, a real-life pilot who has appeared in a TV movie about a crash, and a former NTSB investigator. And he has a channel here with Todd Curtis discussing air safety.
Greg Feith single-handedly made aviation safer over his 20 year career. His input on this crash should be heeded and held to a very high standard. That’s how good this guy is.
Also, shoutout all my Mayday/Air Crash Investigation/Seconds from Disaster fans! Go Greg go!
It’s hard to imagine someone providing a better explanation than this.
From one teacher to another, you are an excellent teacher. I would love to take a course from you on all the crashes you have investigated.
Love this guy on Mayday. Not only was he great at his job as an investigator, but he also knows how to explain it to people like me who have very little knowledge of aviation or physics.
Although older, I recognised him straight away, and all that confidence and knowledge still so apparent..such a pleasure to listen to such a talented communicator!
I've seen Greg on "Mayday" and other programs dealing with air crashes. His ability to explain things in clear terms is valuable to learning from mistakes.
Yep a non-pilot can learn a lot from him.
This was 100km from my house. A shock for us. Brazilian aviation is cinsidered very secure, we did not have accidents since 2007 in commercial aviation...
Yeah, it was also 1,000km from my house. It was right here on earth.
@@Afuru1 yeah... Within your 100kmd radius bull eye
@@Afuru1Do you live in Brazil? Anywhere within a radius of 1,000 km of the crash site is either Brazil or Paraguay. If you want to be out of Brazil for good you need a radius of 3,500 km.

Very professional. The best analysis yet...
As a Brazilian it was good to listen to some unbiased foreign opinion.
absolutely cannot trust corrupt biased CENIPA
UPDATE 15 AUG 10:54 GMT: "The transcript of the conversations between the pilot and co-pilot was prepared by the Flight Recorder Data Reading and Analysis Laboratory of Cenipa. The transcript is approximately two hours long.
Investigators say that the preliminary analysis of the material indicates that the ATR 72-500 lost altitude suddenly and that, based on the analysis of the cockpit audio alone, it is not possible to identify an apparent cause for the crash.
Upon realizing that the plane was losing lift, co-pilot Humberto de Campos Alencar e Silva asked the pilot what was happening. He said that it was necessary to increase power in an attempt to stabilize the aircraft and prevent it from falling. The recording, which ends with screams, confirms that only one minute passed between the loss of altitude and the plane hitting the ground.
Analysts say that they did not identify any characteristic warning sounds, such as those indicating fire, electrical failure or engine failure." (CBN/Globo)
Listening to black boxes has to be a horrible job.
I wonder if this plane can be manipulated (remotely?) to experience a sudden drop in altitude like that. Or was there a weird weather anomaly? Clearly both engines were operable. That plane had a very interesting passenger list. Perhaps that offers a clue.
@@terripebsworth9623 oh please…
they're looking in the wrong direction. they should look at the passenger list
Increasing Power (or at least trying it) would indicate Icing - Speed is Life in an Icing Event.
REALLY well done. Tons of great information. No dragging it out. No bull$*^t. No fake AI voices. No dramatic pauses in a word- no "ayy's" and "thee's". No cuts every 5 words. In other words, professional, intelligent, and classy- unlike a lot of RUclips these days.
According to Brazilian authorities they have already been able to recover data at data recorders.
I was going to post that, they already have the black boxes
@GamingWithMaddog64 OP didn't say "find". He said recover. Meaning the data was readable.
Yes nowadays the recorders have motherboards that can simply be plugged in and listened to and read.
Yes, Brazilian investigation body CENIPA has confirmed both boxes are in good condition to retrieve data and voice.
Brazilian authorities have 30 days to release preliminary report of the accident (mandatory). But a very well known expert in Brazil gathered some tehcnical facts/info and he said they'll might have 99% of the cause enlightened already in this preliminary report. They do not release anything bf, because there's a need to be cautious to deminish all the other possible explanations to the accident
Best Review on this accident so far. You did a great Job on investigating my Airlines accident at AE on 10/31/94.
Almost 30 years and it happened again. 😢

A flat spin going down has to be the most horrifying experience in an airliner crash.
Greg Feith that man REALLY knows what he is talking about.
I remember seeing him play a first officer in a TV film called 'Crash, the mystery of flight 1501'.
R.I.P to all the passengers and crew onboard that aircraft 🙏😔
I was lucky enough to have Greg as one of my instructors at Metro State College of Denver. It was a NTSB class, and he was probably fairly new with the board. This was probably around 1983.
Wow…40 years is a wealth of knowledge. 👍🏽
Fyi: the flight recorders are 100% maintained and they extract everything. Also, CENIPA agents are fantastic investigators. I have full trust and respect for their work. The preliminary reports comes out in one month.
Hello. Be aware of ATR. ATR72 has a lot of flaws not only ICE. ATR wants airplanes flying. Hide things. I saw that in investigations before. BE AWARE
Is it permitted to dispatch with inoperative CVR? Are they 30 day MEL?
@@richardkudrna7503 Hello. Master MEL for sure. Depend of company MEL
Best accident investigator ties worn and, top notch explanations in these investigation ever! Kudos Mr. Feith.
Greg Feith demonstrates he is true expert by explaining complex stuff in such a simple manner that we, the non-experts, understand exactly what he is talking about. Very refreshing to hear from him.
It's Greg Feith! Yes, he was on many Air Crash Investigation show episodes offering insight. It was hard to watch how that plane just fell out of the sky. RIP to all on board and condolences to their families.
This is the straightest, clearest explanation of what was witnessed & debated the past few days. Esp stalls not soley being caused by engine issues & failures, by definition. Sadly, you can hear the propellers operating right up until the crash. And I'd like to believe the pilots were doing everything they could to come out of this catastrophic situation.
Yeah i could hear that too. It sounded like they were out of their depth after icing on the wings
@phanoonki Read an article today about this particular plane's mechanical issues - it was grounded many times for repairs & re-repairs the past year. The day before the crash passengers complained about AC problems & "unbearable heat." Odd, because temps at 20K+ feet should be fairly cool. A little stifling, maybe, but hot?
So horrible the way these people died in an airplane in a spiral way down I hope they find out what happened so that it will never happen again
The terrible fear they most likely had to endure! So Sad
that airplane model must be retired. There has been more than 60 accidents since its introduction in 1989. More than 470 people have perished in those airplanes.
It's an inadequate design for coping with icing: the flying-surfaces can't shed ice as it builds up, destroying lift and reducing the efficiency of the controls. All the redundancy has been designed-out of these so-smart modern-day airliners: many of them don't even "look right".
This was due to pilots error.
I’ve watched this guy for decades. Very knowledgeable.👍🏻👍🏻
Holy cow the "Roselawn" investigator himself! You saved a lot of lives with that one. I wouldn't be surprised if you received a call from Brazil soon.
Have a feeling the recorders for this flight is going to be haunting...
With the new rules and laws, recordings will not be made available to the public.
@@thiago-WOW Ofc they will.
@@thiago-WOW But they will be transcribed in the accident report.
1:32 Thanks to brilliant NTSB investigators like Mr Firth, flying (especially in the good old USA) is so unbelievably safe. NTSB, though a government agency, is almost unforgivably underrated. Praise them for their FABULOUS record of finding the causes for the accident, and working tirelessly to ensure ANOTHER accident does not occur.
In Brazil we have CENIPA who also does an amazing job keeping us safe in the skies. Because of them Brazil was 17 years without any major incidents (Since TAM 3054).
He has a podcast, Flight Safety Detectives, and he often points out that the NTSB is understaffed and underfunded and we need to insist that our government do better.
@@sleepingsealproductions That and the quality of the investigations/reports being done by the NTSB today are, for the most part, severely lacking.
The NTSB is one of the few federal agencies that I have a positive opinion of. Sometimes they want to blame the dead pilots for it when it's not always true. The "why" questions Mr Feith refers to often answers many questions.
@@consortiumxf On what are you basing that opinion?
Greg is the most knowledgeable aviation accident investigator I know of! He's an expert in his field and a gentleman. Rip to the victims tragic accident ❤️
He’s really aged !!
Spent enough years on this earth, everyone will age at some point or another
How many do you know of? :)
This guy is the authority in air crash investigations. I always enjoy watching his contributions to the shows on air disasters. He’s very well informed and concise.
Great commentary. I fly an ATR for a job and had a previous career as an engineer maintaining them. Pleasing to see someone stating facts and laying the situation out clearly. No conjecture or guessing. 'The facts will speak for themselves'. Those of us at the pointy end of this aircraft are watching any outcomes with interest. We have our suspicions, but they will be kept silent until a formal investigation is complete.
Greg Feith, one of the best investigators out there, I remember your meticulous work on flight 1420. Huge respect Sir
I live in Arkansas and remember that one very well.
My home state since 1990. That crash will always be remembered here.
Love this guy. Watched him for years . He’s so knowledgeable, professional and level headed No BS about him He’s the type we need to keep on aviation’s safety at any cost !
Mr. Greg Feith is a brilliant communicator and knows not only aviation but also aerospace technology very well! After his work with Value Jet, Flight 592, 1996, I followed his work within the NTSB. For this tragic flight, I was very sad to see how this plane crashed and that those poor passengers were probably terrified for quite some time. The pilot was young and enthusiastic and really seemed to absent of recklessness. Tragic in every way.
News from the preliminary report indicate that
1) the pilots noticed "a lot of ice" forming on the wings
2) alerts were issue by the plane, including "degraded performance
3) apparently the pilots did not think that this was critical, as they never declared emergency
4) with all that piling up, the plane immediately stalled when performing a right turn to enter the airport zone
Great to hear Greg's views on this accident. He is a leading authority from the NTSB. I remember he led the investigation into the Valuejet crash in the Everglades. Years ago I trained as a pilot and part of that training involved incipient spin and spin recoveries, but we never trained for flat spinning. As Greg mentioned we all want answers as to why this aircraft crashed, but it is important to let the authorities do a methodical investigation which could take time.
Thanks Mr.Feith for information given, my son and I always love looking at your documentaries on airplanes investigations ✈️many love ♥️from Trinidad🇹🇹 in the Caribbean great to see and hear from you again 👌condolences to the families and friends of those precious souls that has been lost RIP 🙏🙏
This man was always brilliant on the Air Crash Investigations TV show - can listen to him for hours. Highly informative and straightforward.
If you're a fan of NGC Air Crash Investigations, you know who this man is.
Also known as Mayday 😊
This is a very impressive delivery of a concise overview of the issues involved in determining what happened with this aircraft. Very articulate and talented delivery. Thank you!
Having pilots trained to respond to these scenarios should not be the answer to these accidents. Cancelling a flight due to weather in order to save lives should be the answer.
So, just not train pilots to recover from issues? What about when the weather is good?.
Two completely independent factors.
@@alemswazzu No, clearly pilots need to be trained to react to these scenarios. However, a company should not proceed with conducting flights through bad weather with certain aircraft frames susceptible to icing more than other platforms merely because the pilots are trained to react to a flat spin. The company is making the broad assumption that because the pilot is trained, the icing and the bad weather are completely countered.
Very good explanation...thank you....
I've been an instructor at the NTSB Academy in the past. This video says a lot without saying much. Basically this video describes the process of investigating the crash but at present there isn't enough information that has been made public yet.
Yeah, I'm not a very eloquent speaker, but he seems like one of the best. Some people in high ranking positions in the world (wink, wink) just spew non-stop verbal diarrhea!
Listening to him you might think no door ever fell off any Air Alaska plane, no faulty systems were ever installed on any planes manufactured in the United States, no wheel ever dropped from an American aircraft, and the list can go on and on: in short, we live in a perfect world (of aviation).
@@lordjim3109 How so? I watched Mayday on TV for years, and all the NTSB Investigators went into great detail about potential and ultimate causes of each crash.
He’s a great communicator, thanks for the insights.
I have been listening to you about aircraft accidents for so many years, I love the way you explain things in such detail, like an instructor would. Thank you so much and look forward to more sir!
as soon as i saw Greg i recognized him immediately, he has been in so many Air Crash Investigation episodes, he is a legend in aviation
This Former NTSB investigator was very knowledgeable and informative.
Good to see Greg and Mary Shiavo still going.
Where is mary schiavo
Greg yes, Mary not so much. Bit of a self-promoting blowhard.
There was a severe icing warning where the plane was flying.
Yes, other pilots flying in the same area reported this. This is among the busiest Brazilian airspaces.
If there was icing, then this needs to be looked at carefully. ATR and ice don’t mix well.
@@jovram8980 I even heard an ATR pilot say it's not allowed to go into severe icing.
Don't ATR's have in-built de-icing on the wings or its technologyis too old?
@@THADEUS-md6wv I’m not sure, but if the pitot tubes were frozen (even if the wings werent), there may have been an unreliable airspeed issue in the cockpit, similar to air france 447
Thanks for weighing in!
Greg Faith was an excellent investigator for the NTSB for decades. SOLID
This guy is immense.
Hi, Greg. I’ve flown the ATR 72 for almost 5 years. In my opinion, in about 2016, the ATR REMOVED the 3 most important steps to deal with SEVERE ICING from the Memory Items 1) Hold Control Wheel firmly and turn the AP OFF; 2) Descend!!! and 3) Notify the ATC (later).
Curious if the AP kicked off and handed the startled pilots a severely out of trim AC.🤔
I assume that is still a described procedure though, just not listed as a “memory” item, yes? I have 7,000 hours in ATR’s and those procedures were a result of the Roselawn accident at my then airline. Even the 737 I fly now requires disconnection of the autopilot in severe icing conditions in addition to prohibiting holding in icing conditions with flaps extended. .
I heard the sky was clear when and where the aircraft was flying, perhaps this accident is not related to icing at all.
@@olasek7972other aviators have reported heavy icing that day
@@olasek7972 Certainly possible. But, when an ATR departs controlled flight in stable cruise while supposedly operating in potentially severe icing conditions, it’s understandable the first thought is an icing-related issue initiated the accident sequence.
Mr. Feith, I have the highest regard for your analytical skills and forthrightness. A true professional. Thank you, Sir.....
This guy is basically a celebrity in the ACI community
Greg got me obsessed with air crash investigation😊

It's REALLY unfortunate the video description does not mention Mr. Feith's podcast, *Flight Safety Detectives.* Him and John Goglia (or 'The Cogfather' as I call him 😊) provide so much great information and education. FYI: John Goglia is the *first and only* Airframe and Powerplant mechanic to receive a *presidential appointment* to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Speaks volumes of his knowledge and skills.
Both boxes recovered. The pilot had 5000+ hours, all on the ATR.
Greg Feith - Always on Mayday. Very Very well spoken and excellent at message delivery. It was a pleasure to be educated in this video.
Fantastic! The only mature and professional comments I've heard so far! Congratulations!
Greg is the ultimate professional in his field
Thank You so much.This is a high professional way to speak about an airplaine accident ! 🙏
I've always appreciated Greg Feith's clear-cut analysis of this subject matter. His contributions to the NTSB, over the years, were superb from what I can tell. Personally, I've always thought that the wing design of this ATR is insufficient. I would NEVER fly on this aircraft given its crash history.
Greg Fife has enormous experience to draw from. He’s on many of the Smithsonian Air Disaster show. Thank you Greg!
I saw a report this morning 8/12/2024, about 8am CST that the boxes had been recovered. I tend to believe that, given the crash site. Unlike other incidents where things can get hurled long distances. This was flat. No searching. Prayers for the families.
Clear and precise. Thank you. It would have been nice if you had used a small model representation to help us better understand from a visual perspective.
I'm Brazilian. Thank you so much for this enlighting video. Yes, it's for our best interest that the causes of this unbelievable accident are known, and we must learn to be patient and wait as long as it takes to know the truth. Thank you again.
Kudos to Greg for mentioning that not all sources of information can be treated as infallible; the data you can best trust is the data publicly published by the proper officials. Fantastic breakdown of what we know, vs what we need to know.
Greg Feith is one of the best aircraft crash investigators ever to have worked for the National Transportation Safety Board. It's a delight to see, even in retirement, he still is at the highest quality.
