In the emotion of this tragic incident a lot of unnecessary things are being said. Those posters who are advocating learning the lessons, paying our respects and moving on armed with more life saving information have hit the nail on the head.

Comparisons with Kegworth are unfortunate and not relevant. The paucity of conversion training that those guys had, the insistance on disconnecting the autopilot on failures in the simulator at that time, the relatively youthful stage in crm evolution, the lack of understanding of the need for FC and CC to work as a team, the latent failure of the CFM56 which was NOT known and later had to be corrected, the lack of understanding by ATC that interruptions to crews by unnecessary transmissions can, and in this case DID, affect their ability to deal with the emergency, the poor engine instrument design leading to increased liklihood of confusion did not contribute to this light twin accident.

The press have access to these web sites I worry what conclusions they may draw about our profession after reading some of the posts on this site.

R.I.P.
