Probably is not an Airbus problem, but it is the 5th write off A320 that stops well behind the runway, and the 3rd that doesnt deploy a reverse.
May the aircraft doesnt have a problem, but do you know of the 19 hull losses how many have been due to technical problems?
Almost none, all losses had happen in normal operations.
Is it normal for a new generation aircraft?
19 losses in 20 years? I dont remember, but even the B737-100 didnt have such rate of crashes when were released, and that was 50 years ago or so.
I going to tell you that this aircraft really have a problem, and I´m going to tell you what it is.
The sciencetifics of Toulouse believe that is easier to adapt a human to a machine rather than a machine to a human, and 60 years ago, Chuck Yeagers discovered that was the human not de machine the essential part of the system.
We have gone backwards, and we have recovered a crash rate from the 60s.
Yeah, the plane is fine, not the stadistics and the common sense.
