    Yemenia Flight 626 was an Airbus A310-324 twin-engine jet airliner operated by Yemenia that was flying a scheduled international service, from Sana'a in Yemen to Moroni in Comoros, when it crashed on 30 June 2009 at around 1:50 am local time (10:50 pm on 29 June UTC) while on approach to Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport, killing all but one of the 153 passengers and crew on board. The sole survivor, 12-year-old girl Bahia Bakari, was found clinging to wreckage after floating in the ocean for thirteen hours. Bakari was discharged from the hospital on 23 July 2009.

    Just to add a little more context concerning the survivor: "Bakari, who had little swimming experience, no life vest, clung to a piece of aircraft wreckage floating in heavy seas for over nine hours. Much of this was in pitch darkness before being rescued". The crash site is about 15 miles north of the island of Grande Comore, which lies off the east coast of Africa. RIP those who perished. Cheers Allec, great video as always.

    Wait.. this approach was insanity from the outset: The published procedure is for an airliner to fly the MVI at a pattern altitude of GA aircraft?.. at night? .. !? No airliner should be making hard turn maneuvers to land in slow speed conditions at 1400ft AGL! ..autopilot or not..

    They would have survived if they had chosen to hand fly the aircraft. They were intellectually challenged by relying on auto-pilot, which released them from being personally responsible. Let the autopilot do the thinking.

    • @rallyden
      @rallyden 3 месяца назад

      It is their lack of piloting skills that done them in. The fundamentals of flight…climbs, descents, turns….they exhibited none of it when the AP is off. This approach required hand flying. Night time, hand flying and no skills in cockpit. Not good.

    2009 was not a good year with the crashes of Colgan Air 3407 and Air France 447 just to name just two. There was also Turkish Air 1951 that same year that stalled on final approach similar to this one. Fortunately there were a number of survivors on that one (due to no fire)
    The lone survivor would be 28-29 now and I hope life has been good to her. The survivors guilt would all but wreck me if I lived thru that.

    The biggest crime and injustice is to blame this poor pilot.

      If they had used automation instead of hand flying the plane and continued the instrument scan instead of looking outside at night, maybe, they would all be still alive.
      I am still amazed by "experienced" pilots who still haven't learned the basics of IFR/IMC and get themselves in a world of hurt.
      The sad thing is that it seems that the lessons taught are never really learned by others, very sad indeed.

    @jeffreymcdonald8267 4 месяца назад

    It sounds like complacency born out of years of over reliance on AP. That stall could have been prevented, even at 50 feet altitude, by simple flying straight and level while applying power. Once power is up start a gradual climb. It's all about instrument awareness at that point. What a brave young lady.
