Shaksey Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I've said it before and I'll say it again; cramming 190 people into a 737 or A320 is fucking stupid. Nothing to do with the cause of the accident.....but the frequency of accidents of these aircraft, due to the massive numbers of them in operation is all adding up. This will go down as CFIT. Pilot error. Same as OG269. Pilot skill and experience simply not good enough. THIS is how good they should be - The pilot comms at 00:48 is just beyond perfection. Then, when they're on short finals, ATC gives them windage at 4:38...just a double click of the Mic to confirm. Superb. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have an ex RAF, FAA, USAF, USN, or most NATO air service pilots over any direct to cockpit trained bods and they can run whatever protocoles they want to get me where I'm going in one piece 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWA Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 The poor weather is a better excuse than this one from a few weeks ago, caused by a donkey on the runway. https://simpleflying.com/blue-bird-dash-8-somalia-crash/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
