An exhausted pilot with insufficient Hours in Type suddenly recalled an NTSB video about tail stalls and therefore held the nose up because he thought he was in this rather esoteric condition but did not recall the much more commonly encountered situation that Condition Levers to the Max requires Increased Power.
Do you really think that somebody failing sim checkride every single time will recognise a tail stall??? My bet is he didn't even have a broad idea about it.It looks like he didn't have much clue what he was doing either...Since when you use control column to recover from stall,or even more the a/c already was in a spin??? Ailerons neutral,rudder in the opposite direction to the spin - that's what everybody's been taught from the very first lesson.No wonder captain Renslow was a slow learner,failing five checkrides throught his short career...Colgan Air just doesn't care,their main concern is to pay you peanuts;your skills,professionalism and qualifications are just something they're not interested in...Unfortunately this is the real face of aviation world today and mother****ers,like Marvin Renslow just want to jump to that left seat as soon as possible,disregarding any safety considerations,all they have is ambitions,but,unfortunately,that's not enough....Captain Renslow just killed 50 people due to his absolute stupidity and complete unprofessionalism,that's my opinion.
