The reason was there was confusion between imperial and metric measures. He could have looked out the window and thought “hmm that’s the ground, don’t wanna go there!” But nope.

With Bonin in AF470 we have CVR recordings that clearly indicate that his actions were not out of malice, but rather confusion and loss of situational awareness, in turn caused by a multitude of factors. In this case that's not really clear at all, and instead it rather looks like the pilot deliberately caused it.

    Consider that the FBI and NTSB have no interest at all in accusing a pilot of purposely crashing a plane. Their reputation is that they want to find the real cause, especially if it is mechanical failure. However, the Egyptian authorities and the families definitely do have an interest in denying that the pilot is responsible.

      They seem to be doing it again with the 2016 crash of EgyptAir Flight 804. 8 years of investigation and they've come up with pretty much nothing. Claiming a different cause every year. Now they're saying a pilot lit up a cigarette in the cockpit, causing a fire. Which is dumb, because that would have been evident on the data recorders right away and this would not have turned into a mystery or taken 6 years to determine.
      What IS clear is that there was a fire onboard that spread with very uncharacteristic speed. Frighteningly fast it wreaked havoc on the electrics, breakers were tripping like dominoes and it incapacitated either the pilots or the plane very quickly (possibly both).

      Exactly. He wasn’t even supposed to be flying at that moment either. He insisted on coming into the cockpit and as soon as the other pilot leaves the cockpit he turns off the autopilot. There were no warnings or alerts that would indicate a malfunctioning aircraft so there’s absolutely no reason to take manual control of the plane. And if by some weird chance there was something wrong with the aircraft, when the other pilot entered the cockpit he would’ve told him what was going on. He never said a word to him. It’s impossible to overlook all these actions and believe that he was in any way trying to save that aircraft.

      I'm not so sure if he did it on purpose though, there must have been a reason why this guy was "only" a relieve captain instead of a normal captain. Maybe he wasn't seen as competent enough to be a full captain, but because of his obvious seniority they felt that they couldn't fire him. It could simply have been a case of where the guy got overconfident and decided to show that he could fly the plane better than the autopilot and when things got out of hand, he panicked and did everything he shouldn't have done out of sheer panic.

      It's the main pilots are doing the take-offs and landings, whereas the relief pilots just monitor the autopilot and the plane in between those events (the boring, standard part of a long flight) so the "real" pilots can rest and when something serious happens, they immediately call the main pilots back to the cockpit to take over and solve the problem(s).

    This one comes down to a simple decision for the Egyptian government & airline. Either you knew of his misdeeds and threatened to fire him for them, in which case you can admit he crashed the aircraft - or you can persist in declaring it to be equipment failure. In the second case you obviously knew of his sexual harassment and chose to cover for him to protect him until retirement. This means the crash is a different conversation altogether because you were knowingly covering up, and thereby giving your tacit approval to, crimes by an Egyptian national against American women while he was in the US.

    From a professional perspective:
    All cultural aspects left out, the NTSB report is the only conclusion that actually makes sense. Yes, unfortunately there are some nutbag pilots in every country, but those are getting filtered out. I’m a long term Boeing pilot and now Boeing captain and there was nothing discovered that would put a single bit of cause to the plane.
    And most importantly: when investigating a plane crash, the priority is to identify the real reason to prevent such accident to happen again = improve safety.

    I don't think the "our people don't commit suicide" argument has much value, because even if you believe this angle, this clearly wasn't the typical "I want to die"-suicide. This was more a scenario where his own survival was of no concern. People who see no way out of their misery often try to not put misery on others (as far as the situation allows), so crashing an entire plane doesn't really fit that situation. In that case he would've killed himself in a manner that caused less casualties. This looks more like Amok syndrome to me

If they said Terrorism, then people would be afraid to fly. The perpetrator knew when, how, and where. Plain and simple.

  • @rentechpad
    @rentechpad 7 месяцев назад +9

    After so many crashes where the FVR only recording the last 30 minutes has left gaps that always seem to leave room for questions why is it that these have not been upgraded to record, if not an entire flight, at least the last several hours. More and more it seems like, other that a clear cut mechanical failure, often part of the answer about a crash, often picked out on the data recorder has left investigators question what had happened then, or if anything had even been noticed.
    Given the technology today of digital audio devices that can record hours of sound on exceptionally small devices, and in solid state devices that are much hardier than tape decks, why are the black boxes still so badically antiquated. Would it really be that hard to manufactor the black boxes with more modern technology, that would provide longer and better recordings, and not only start placing them in newly built craft but swapping them out on older craft, especially those flighing longer routes or overseas ones.
    Although not an issue here, mosern technology should also be able to have black boxes connect to and upload their data to a satellite, if they determine they have been in a crash, all of which we have the technology to do. That way, if an air craft cannot be found or the black boxes are too deep, their data can still be reviewed once pulled from the satellite or whatever storage facility the satellite furwards the bkack box data on too.

      @nickforgie4290 7 месяцев назад +2

      Remarkably there are planes that provide real time data for maintenance, the problem is these are useless without a connection and only in larger planes- the black boxes may seem like an antique, but they are helpful in the cases where you don’t have them. Though I will admit that these might need some form of upgrade so they can record after a power loss.
