    Didn't see the crash itself but did see the plane just before it crashed. My brother and I were on a bus between Coventry and Birmingham that morning. The weather had been pretty awful, damp and misty. We noticed a plane heading towards us really low near to what looked like a wood. I said, "what the f*^* is that plane doing; it's far too low to land at Birmingham" (we didn't know that Coventry Airport existed). Later that evening, when we got back to Birmingham from Stourbridge, the local papers were full of the crash and we realised we had seen the last few seconds of the flight.

      Very sad. I’d be freaking out. Every time I can hear a plane, I feel it is too low. I used to have nightmares about one crashing into my home. I’m afraid to fly. My family loves flying. My son wanted to be a pilot (another nightmare of mine).

      Something like that happened to me in November 2007. I was with friends on the coast near Melbourne when I saw a Cessna 337 flying past; an unusual design, which made it stick in my mind. The next day I heard that a Cessna 337 had gone missing, and three days later wreckage and bodies were discovered. Investigators attributed the crash to the pilot becoming disoriented in low cloud and crashing into the sea.
      Based on the timeline in the final report, I was among the last to see that aircraft before it flew into the cloud.

      When I served in the USAF, we had a rule regarding 16 hours of work. We called it the "Sweet 16" rule. Once you had 16 hours on duty, you had to disarm, not allowed to operate machinery, and sent directly home. Later on in my Law Enforcement career, our state was hit with a blizzard and we couldn't leave the jail and oncoming relief Officers were unable to drive due to road conditions. We cleared out a small pod for personal use. I slept in a cell for 3 days, just like any other inmate. Once we hit 16 hours, we were sent to the pod for 8 hours of rest before being allowed to work again. I've heard this 16 hour rule exists because of an NTSB investigation into a train wreck where the conductor had been on shift over 16+ hours. This resulted in the new NTSB and OSHA regulations in the US.

    This plane crash was sad and could've been avoided if the pilots were well rested and alert, as they were on a tight schedule like most commercial airlines have their pilots flying back to back, and for these pilots who were bound to make a series of careless mistakes, and the outcome disastrous.

  • @evarwilliams
    @evarwilliams Год назад +26

    There are a lot many viewers here who may not fully understand how this could happen. The regulations are most often written in blood because of earlier air accidents. Restrictions on duty and flight times are for a reason. Fatigue is a real thing and I have been a victim of it, even when within the flight time duty limits. Throw in time pressures and the responsibility upon the captain, by his company to return the aircraft to base. Couple this with a dynamic machine whilst fatigued and operating during the body's natural sleep cycle. Now toss in tunnel vision and confirmation bias during deteriorating weather conditions whilst attempting a non-precision approach is asking for trouble. The events leading to this disaster are a classic tale of the proverbial accident chain.

      Ok, you can list a ton of reasons...but it doesn't change the fact, that not one aircraft accident, which was avoidable, should have had happenned. The regulations should not be written in blood. They are and this shows the deep corruption in these organisations, companies and regulatory agencies. Just tragic and inexcusable. I don't care of the status quo. It should not work like this, should never had worked like this.

    • @evarwilliams
      @evarwilliams Год назад

      @Adam Bazso I can, in fact, name accidents which were unavoidable, meaning the crew were doomed regardless. Written in blood is not unique to the aviation industry, and simply means changing policies to reduce the risk to an acceptable level. This is because accidents can never be eliminated. Yes, there are recorded accidents which were a direct result of cost-cutting shortcuts taken by companies. However, to insinuate all accidents are a result of corruption tells me you are mistaken and ill-informed.

    My father the flight instructor used to say many times, "The most important decision any pilot makes is whether to take off or stay on the ground. It is always a life-or-death decision, and some days, the only safe decision is to keep yourself and your aircraft firmly on terra firma." A LOT of these crashes are either because the pilots (like these two) made the wrong decision about that, or because their companies forced them to.

      @@jasonMB999 It *always* is. It's not just weather at your FBO. If your preflight check reveals a problem - is it serious enough to stay on the ground, or do you complete your trip and fix it on the other end? What about conditions at the destination? Are they as nice as your takeoff point, or is their weather deteriorating? What about your own skills and abilities? Does your flight plan stretch them or match up with them? What about cargo and passengers? Is your weight and balance within limits?
      A smart pilot will make the right decisions. Because all it takes is guessing wrong once, especially in a small plane. Look up the NTSB statistics some time.

    RVR = Runway Visual Range. Its worth noting, a radar approach is not a precision approach, since only lateral guidance is given. There is not height information. Besides the missed MDA, the tower they hit would be on the approach plate, so this really comes down to inadequate pilot preparation.

    Height, or HAGL and AGL, are different concepts than elevation and altitude. Using “height” of the airplane in reference to elevation as shown by the altimeter, is confusing. I have a ‘height’ of 6 feet when I get out of bed in the morning. But my ‘elevation’ or ‘altitude’ is well over 7,000 feet.

    @ronaryel6445 Год назад +2

    Great video. Thee are a number of lessons here. First, the airline's use of an airliner not properly equipped to perform an ILS approach, especially in bad weather or at night, was unacceptable, especially since this aircraft used Coventry as a base. The pilots should have known that, under conditions of fatigue, it was doubly important to go through the checklist in detail. Taking shortcuts in this kind of weather is tantamount to suicide. I would have faulted ATC too - not just Coventry, but other ATC Centers. If they had added a height-finding radar the controllers could have warned the crew that the airplane was well below glidepath. A 3D radar (like the US Navy's SPS-48) covers position, direction and altitude. Yet another option was to tell the airline operations base that they were too tired to fly. Getting fired is better than dying.

    We drove down the street to watch the BOEING slowly drop out of the sky, We heard no engine noise. We turn the corner keep the BOEING in our sights, once we past, 4 houses, we no longer saw the BOEING dropping out of the sky.

      I suspect it was a combination of fatigue and needing to get the job done, leading to them becoming fixated on landing. They rightly abandoned their first attempt to get into Coventry, but the frustration must have built as they got further and further behind schedule. It's a shame the load couldn't have been transported by road from East Midlands to Coventry, it's less than an hour's drive.
