As usual, our reporters love to give error-filled reports , unless we read the actual transcripts with the DGCA findings, a lot of questions will remain.Some of the errors in my opinion:
1.
Glucika, who was believed to have about 2,000 flying hours’ experience
Wow, 2000 hrs and he's hired as a PIC with AIX....maybe they mean 2000 hrs on type.
2.
As suspected earlier, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft was flying at an unsually high speed of 139 knots during landing.
OK, any CPL holder will be able to tell you that 139 knots for a 737-800 is not unusual at all.So ineffective and useless are our so-called aviation experts in these newspapers that they'll go any lengths to publish an aviation story riddled with holes ..
3.
The decoding of the black box also shows that the GPS (ground proximity warning system) precision approach and landing system of the aircraft
Not only is GPS (Global positioning system) an entirely different piece of equipment but since when did the GPWS become a precision approach and landing system of the aircraft?????
This report is perfect for the non-aviation flying public, I know what they'll be saying , oh look those overpaid pilots sleep in the cockpit and the autopilot does everything and pilots are the reason for every crash. The complex relationship between fatigue, decision making , circardian rhythm , CRM , experience gradient will never get any public attention nor will it be addressed by the regulator.
And as long as we have great reporters like these who are there to publish error prone official reports without any research/investigation of their own , the real issues will not get the attention they deserve.
God help us, masalama.
