Hi,
What the **** has this to do with any particular manufacturer.
Nothing of course
Only the pilots are involved in this accident
Cause they were qualified to fly this type of plane at high altitude with no speed indications but failed ..
They will be the first culprits shown in the trial result .. the role of Air France and Airbus and official bodies will be seen as very minor in this accident.
Why ?
You can not blame Air France for not quickly replace the pitot tubes
There were no laws that mandatory a substitute .. only non-binding recommendations
You can not blame Air France not to properly train pilots .. because they will prove that they scrupulously follow the laws of formation and training
You can not accuse Airbus .. because their systems and aircrafts have been certified by official bodies and they have given the green light for the commercial operations of Airbus
So .. who is guilty in a
legal standpoint?
The three pilots (the crude reality)
Well sure .. Air France will be responsible for the payment of damages and other expenses of the victims' families (the Vienna and Montreal conventions .. etc. .. will apply)
And you can't not involve the official bodies .. etc .. as they are state entities ... (never culprit)
And it will be just some (more) recommendations from the BEA for satisfy anyone ....
