brett 2,285 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Looks like the lawyers and PR folks are going to be working overtime for the foreseeable future. They did not ask for an agreement only a receipt, I wonder what the passengers lawyers recommended? Link to post Share on other sites
David TRIGGS 0 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Excellent AA training session video (FLY THE AEROPLANE) ... I fly FSX B737-800 in my twin cockpit with a friend, and we have at some time or other committed ALL of these errors ... !!! eg leaving A/T on during a "manual" landin, and wandering why we were not stopping!!!! Also in my opinion most heavy iron landings ARE made with Auto-pilot (AND auto-throttle!!) off ... as I have witnessed when sitting-in in the cockpit during actual landings, and also on the many commercially available "cockpit videos"!

jaydor 345 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 So where are International Air traffic regulations? Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 The NTSB has spoken on this crash. In a nutshell, it come down to over-dependence and incorrect use of automation. He tried to make the airplane fly the approach itself but inadvertently put it into a mode where it couldn't. The check pilot let things get too far gone before calling for a go-around when it was no longer possible. http://www.flyingmag.com/technique/accidents/ntsb-blames-asiana-777-crash-pilot-actions?src=related&con=outbrain&obref=obnetwork John Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,285 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I wonder if the pilots get fired. Link to post Share on other sites

brett 2,285 Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Started off bad and just got worse. I have had a few of them over the years and thankful I don't carry real passengers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
