for such a sophisticated aircraft like that to suddenly lose control on take off with 2 highly experienced pilots for no apparent reason makes no sense. Even if they where conducting EFATO drills this shouldnt happen. The Brasilia has gauranteed performance with one engine on T/O... Obviously Something terribly went wrong.This could not be pilot error. Without a doubt, mechanical failure!!
Archangel7, even with said guaranteed performance, it doesn’t guarantee you anything if the technique isn’t correct. I.e. control inputs are inappropriate or insufficient, or speed control is inadequate. There is a human element to a large percentage of air accidents which has been pointed out by many on this thread.
A routine event can go wrong very quickly and one can find themself in a position from which there are few avenues of escape if the situation is mismanaged or mishandled.
We’ve all had bad days in the sim, or seen bad situations in the sim where we walk away afterwards thinking to ourselves that we are still alive to fight another day because it was in the sim.
Experience gives us many things, but it doesn’t give us immunity from making a mistake!
