The accident report of the December 1, 1974, crash of a NWA 727 in New York should be required reading for all of today's active crewmembers. They forgot to turn on the pitot heaters and when "the stuff hit the fan" they got fixated on the bad information to the exclusion of attitude instrument flying.
The two 757 accidents in South America (
Aeroperu 603 and
Birgenair 301) are closer to the modern magenta-line era and are sickening.
