So a lot has been said about this, what is the truth, we may never know but I believe the pilot. But what really convinced me is that the sound of the engines in the home movie confirms the delay. I looked for the video from other sources and it matched with this one. The engines are heard spooling down as the plane enters the tree line and only after do they spool up. not to mention the pictures of the flight data recorder being different. As for the government of France they had/have a vested interest in Airbus. So the possibility of bias or corruption cannot be out of the realm of reality.
While Airbus had much to lose, I feel there was a serious mistake in going down that low to start with. The Captain chose 100 ft, the very minimum. Myself, I would want to have a cushion of at least 200 ft. That would have allowed the crowd to witness the flight just as well as 100 ft. Strange downdrafts can be there and should have been accounted for as a regular precaution, even though there was no concern of wind shear. The Captain, I thiink, is a victim of airbus, but also, of himself. Just too low. Sorryfor the loss of the little girl and the brave lady who lost her life as well and their families. Sad for all concerned.
I believed the pilot from the beginning. I think something went wrong with the aircraft computers. I'm reminded of a Star Trek episode where computers were to run the starship so lives wouldn't be lost in space and the computer run starship actually killed more people. I hope the pilot will get his name cleared.
I like to think that unlike Boeing's MAX MCAS system issue, this one with "alpha protection" stall protection was found out early. Now, if Airbus fixed it as a bad implementation of the idea and threw the pilots bit by it under the bus is a good question. For sure they ironed out the issue on the other flight computers going forward. And found out the hard way the protection plan wasn't great in real experiences the plane would be placed in. The 737 MAX issue became huge when the 737 system was "out in the wild" with airlines doing different standards of pilot training. Took two commercial flights to being it to light. But Boeing didn't learn anything from Airbus' experience, sadly.
A fully loaded plane gets shown off…..Normally air shows would have an empty cabin, not full. Reckless indeed. He should have understood the obstacles of the airfield and adjusted his height to clear the forest.
Did you not even watch the episode? He didn't know the forest was there, the Air France peon that was supposed to draw him a map of the airshow grounds didn't include it. And he was going too slow on purpose, trying to show off how this plane can go unusually slowly, perfect for a show-off fly-by in front of a crowd. So he didn't have the power to pull up and clear the surprise 'forest.' when it came upon him. Plus he had to change runways at the last minute b/c the crowd was lined up at a different runway than the one he'd been told to take. All in all, it was a classic french clusterf*ck. The more the French try to show off the more incompetent they are, and the French are just hardwired to have to show off. I think it's in their DNA.
Both of them fucked up - Pilots should have said the plan was too risky and denied flying it, or at the *very* least called for a go around instead of attempting a rushed descent (which all pilots have the right *AND* responsibility to do), and finally AirBus should not have came up with the plan in the first place.
They explained in the video it was bc seats were folded over hiding them. This is why you never leave your kids without someone to watch over them. People were in shock & panic and likely had no idea there was someone without proper care who needed their help.
Yeah, and the other 'young boy' they barely mentioned here was quadraplegic & could not move on his own. I kid you not, one report I read made it sound like the boy was at fault b/c he 'appeared to have stayed in his seat...' I kid you not. Yeah, I guess he did stay in his seat, given that he was QUADRAPLEGIC! And apparently, like the little girl, had no one provided to assist him on the flight.
You're right and they're insurance company just let's them get getting away with it. To be truthful, the French are a little bit different. captain is always right. Arrogance does show through. Is even incompetence. He had to have looked out the window and seeing that he was half as high as he'd like to be or even less. That's no good.

This was a perfect case of airbus simply replacing the block boxes with ones that would not incriminate the company. Airbus had the future of the company on this blaming the pilot.

Looks like a case of 'Cover Your Asseline'. He ONLY got ten months?! He was the one who decided to fly the plane at 30' above ground, when he should have been at 100', because he botched the approach. Then he flew it at the edge of a stall.

I dont know anything about flying but regardless if there was a malfunction or not, the pilots were responsible. First the captain planned a dangerous maneuver, even the co pilot was surprised at, then both pilots couldnt find the landing area, and when they did they rushed the procedures to land. Shouldn't they just go around and try landing again?
@@jonathanbowling3129 I was referring to Mentour Pilot's video documentary about the Air France airshow flyby tragedy, which is the subject of this video. Curious which video you were watching?

That never used to happen, but is likely the result of the many ^wonderful improvements^ YT has implemented this past year. 😋
Plenty of blame on the pilot regardless of what the auto controls did or didn’t do. He didn’t know how to navigate to the airfield which led to a rushed approach to the wrong runway and then, “I didn’t know there were trees out there!” while his bottom is dropping out, low power and the plane is about to stall. He had no margin. With 130 people on board. He’s ridiculous. It’s a miracle they weren’t all killed. Inspector Clouseau could fly more competently.
While I believe the pilot did make some mistakes, it's very obvious that Airbus and Air France did everything they could to cover up their own failings and place the blame entirely on his shoulders. The lead investigator works for Air France! How is that not an immediate conflict of interest? Add that to the fact that the French government has very strong ties to Airbus, and it's very obvious the game was rigged from the start. There was no way the poor guy was going to be treated fairly.
Wow. This story is most intrigueing. I dont have words..save this...that a pilot must study every aspect of a new airplane. And common sense should dictate that 100 ft is too low for a demonstration fly over and that their should be no passengers for such a demonstration.
You could not be more incorrect. At that altitude NO auto throttle should be used, this is why it is disconnected prior to landing, as well as autopilot. This was entirely an issue with the 320's anti-stall system, and poor flight planning. Auto throttle had zero role in this incident.
@404notfound..... Which is why you didn't back up anything you stated with facts. Also I haven't been on XBox since 2013, and I've been employed at, and have been flying for United Airlines in their 787-9 for 4 years, wtf are you talking about.
Captain Assanine really messed up. I'm amazed he'd ever show his face in public again, and especially not doing interviews for a documentary. And the French adults on the plane didn't think to help the children that they obviously knew were near them. The whole thing is disgusting.
The captain should locate the Dutch Investigator that authored the findings of the Tenerife disaster to assist his appeal. I’m sure he can find a way to blame the forest, Boeing & the United States for his crash.
This is on the pilot. He stalls the plane within 30 ft from ground, then he's surprised whey the plane didn't respond. Also, if you're an experienced pilot, you should be able to tell the difference between 30 ft and 100 ft just visually or at least realize something's wrong and that you're too low regardless. He can't expect engines on a commercial plane like that to respond immediately. It's not a fighter jet. The pilot doesn't sound too sharp to me.
I formerly flew Air France frequently. Ever since Air France 447, which was really pilot incompetence, I've avoided them to some extent, perhaps the Latin culture allows a bit of slip. Two years ago, however, i did fly them into Africa and it was excellent (biz class in AF is awesome, the design + 'cuisine'). Also did Paris to Shanghai. 💪🏾🇺🇲
Did we just see the FO look back at two hot french flight attendants then look right at the pilot with a twinkle in his eyes as if to say......gonna be a good post flight celebration tonight my boy.
Not showing off I would differ from that statement. To make such a maneuver, you would not have a full load of passengers! This was beyond responsible. You want to play in an aircraft do so when your life and others are not at risk. Then to not have any black boxes on board of this aircraft. Very convenient indeed. You’re showing a new aircraft but don’t have it equipped to record the flight and how the aircraft performed or its crew!
You’re blaming people who were in shock & panic & desperately trying to flee a fire to not recognize that small children hidden by folded seats were left unattended without proper care from their own parents? Shame on the parents for not accompanying their children & hoping strangers would care for them.
Here’s the obvious facts the big fancy French companies knew they were done if it was the planes fault so they made sure it wasn’t the planes fault there’s so many times the captain found one thing after another so the investigator put through his “final word” meaning even if he had all the evidence he was never changing his ruling which is already suspect, then another independent investigator found something else besides the fact the black boxes were swapped, and once again France shows its cowardice in any big boy situations.
At the end of the day, the captain brought the aircraft into a dangerous manuever and environment with passengers onboard. It can be described as cavalier, in honor of our French friends. RIP the three lost souls, especially the little boy.
@@michael-4k4000he may be salt of the earth but improper maps, not having knowledge of the airfield….Air France and some degree of arrogance plus a computer error combined to cause 2 children and kind adult to die
Sometimes in crashes seatbelts get jammed. It happens in car accidents too. That's why they sell specific tools to store in your car so you can break windows and cut seatbelts if you get into an accident.
It's not about relying on one thing. At least with US NTSB reports, it is rare that just one thing happens that is the sole reason for the crash. Yes the pilot was too low and saw the tree line too late but 4 seconds is a huge difference in terms of making an emergency climb. Even if the plane was traveling at 100 knots 4 seconds is plenty of time to reach rotation speed and would have left the pilots 5 seconds to climb. If they were at 30 feet and the trees were 40 feet tall, they should have cleared the tree line. The problem is the idea that the pilot is either at fault or not. It is very much a possibility that the pilot may have still been at fault however the plain also failed to accelerate as expected.
Sorry, but that ostrich Beanie Baby didn’t exist in 1988… and I don’t know that because I know when it was released or anything. I know that because Beanie Babies didn’t even exist in the ‘80s. Sticks out like a sore thumb.
Look what they were able to do with innocent people on Jan 6, if you think an Airline with that much at stake. Wouldn't k Couldn't do THAT to someone. You'd be mistaken. Money trumps people. PERIOD!!!!!!
Sounds like they threw the Captain under the Air-Bus to me. Too much riding on the investigation to blame the aircraft.

Here’s the obvious facts the big fancy French companies knew they were done if it was the planes fault so they made sure it wasn’t the planes fault there’s so many times the captain found one thing after another so the investigator put through his “final word” meaning even if he had all the evidence he was never changing his ruling which is already suspect, then another independent investigator found something else besides the fact the black boxes were swapped, and once again France shows its cowardice in any big boy situations.
I’m calling it. Airbus will be first to introduce AI to planes. Just wait till AI is flying. Bonus, can’t send a bot to prison!
At the end of the day, the captain brought the aircraft into a dangerous manuever and environment with passengers onboard. It can be described as cavalier, in honor of our French friends. RIP the three lost souls, especially the little boy.
The captain was a genius. I know the Captain very well and he is salt of the earth 🌎
Indeed, he never should have been so close to the ground.
@@michael-4k4000he may be salt of the earth but improper maps, not having knowledge of the airfield….Air France and some degree of arrogance plus a computer error combined to cause 2 children and kind adult to die
How is that pilot not in jail for the rest of his life? what a reckless excuse for a pilot
I don't get struggling with seat belts on planes. They are designed to be a one motion release.
if you are a kid disoriented and panicked i imagine it would be a lot harder
Sometimes in crashes seatbelts get jammed. It happens in car accidents too. That's why they sell specific tools to store in your car so you can break windows and cut seatbelts if you get into an accident.
When the body is in incapable of things that are so simple but it can't be believed.
I don't care what the pilot says you don't rely on a 4-second response time and he wouldn't have pulled out in time anyway
It's not about relying on one thing. At least with US NTSB reports, it is rare that just one thing happens that is the sole reason for the crash. Yes the pilot was too low and saw the tree line too late but 4 seconds is a huge difference in terms of making an emergency climb. Even if the plane was traveling at 100 knots 4 seconds is plenty of time to reach rotation speed and would have left the pilots 5 seconds to climb. If they were at 30 feet and the trees were 40 feet tall, they should have cleared the tree line.
The problem is the idea that the pilot is either at fault or not. It is very much a possibility that the pilot may have still been at fault however the plain also failed to accelerate as expected.
This companies are evil thank god we have elon musk now
Really , Elon? Put your faith in something other than a man.
Air shows need to be banned worldwide 👍🏻✌🏻
It all came down to $$. The pilot was sacrificed in favor of the almighty dollar.
Sorry, but that ostrich Beanie Baby didn’t exist in 1988… and I don’t know that because I know when it was released or anything. I know that because Beanie Babies didn’t even exist in the ‘80s. Sticks out like a sore thumb.
PULL-UP‼️ YA✔️🦺
70% of crashes are pilot errors.
Look what they were able to do with innocent people on Jan 6, if you think an Airline with that much at stake. Wouldn't k Couldn't do THAT to someone. You'd be mistaken. Money trumps people. PERIOD!!!!!!
Scare Buss lives up to its name.
Mcas: may crash any second used by boeing lives up to its name
This pilot should be in prison for life!
