What we know is a true-ism: history tends to repeat itself

SB not being made mandatory contributed to a tragic accident (airlines not faultless either for not making those recommended changes). Pilots fighting against their machines after mishandling of a vital control and not understanding what their predicament was. Congonhas wasn't the first and unfortunately probably won't be the last. But more attention needs to be paid to make a good product better.


read PBL's article here regarding the 1994 CAL A300-600 crash in Nagoya
(scroll down to 1994)

Does anything sound familiar?
