I would like to know if one of the pilots here admits that could make the “mistake” that caused this accident.
The concept of *mistakes* in a flight deck has been accepted for some time by the pilots'population. That's the main subject - and always lurking in all other chapters - of the CRM courses that we attend regularly during our career.
But there is
NEVER a judgement of value (he screwed up...had a brain fart...was foolish...etc...) but a search for the conditions that allowed the mistake to be made.
As a group, we also know that when something goes wrong, it generally happens very fast. In this instance, they went from a routine landing with very little out of the ordinary into a major emergency in mere seconds. An emergency they couldn't walk away from.
In that respect, yes, as a group we accept that mistrakes can be made and the resultant conclusion that the public would start pointing fingers...
Does that prevent me from flying again to-morrow ?
In my opinion, the investigation will have a good look at the flight preparation.
I still wonder why, with all the Pireps that have been made in the past two days, plus the ATR skidding off the runway, they could have dispatched that airplane -with one locked-out T/R - into a runway that in all respects was
contaminated.
I also wonder why the crew, while showing a real concern for the runway state, did not ask the - IMHO right - question about *braking action* or *braking coefficient*.
The rest is for HF specialists to respond to.
As a group, and bar the now-obscene B vs AB comments, we want these answers.
