Turkish B-737 Accident Video Animation
Good Morning All:
Although this is not really relevant to Canadian aviation as it happened in AMS it does show a very good example of the "Swiss Cheese" error method. As one watches this you can see where the initial error message on the F.M.A. (Flight Mode Annunciation) led not only to confusion but to the incident.
Not being that well versed in the B-737-NG series of aircraft maybe our "Teal" friends in CYYC can expand on this for everyone's edification.

Nine passengers and crew including the three pilots were killed in this accident which highlights the ancient truths of fly the aeroplane and remain in the loop. -8 ft would be the nose wheel compressed ground reading for the Radio Altimeter.
