AF 447 Thread No. 7

[RR_NDB]

AF 447 was a "Canary in the coal mine"?

Hi,

bobdazzle:

Airline managements /accountants don’t understand this fact and are slowly but surely turning airline flying into a scary proposition.

The "WHY" will led to "BECAUSE".

AF 447 was avoidable

Very early (after recorders read) BEA told plane operated as designed.

The creation of Human Factors study group is emblematic.

IMHO AF447 could well represent the "canary in the coal mine" warning us that the hand flying deterioration has begun to cripple not only the third world airlines but also the legacy carriers.

Let's hope findings could identify trends many are concerned.

Your position imo is not conflicting. Will comment ASAP on that.

Safety is increasing. Due many reasons. Automation is an important one.
