BB solves JT 610 crash
BB, after an exhaustive investigation of all the facts, states of NineMSN today that it was due "to lack of crew training".
An here I was thinking that GT was the only idiot to rush into print professing to know the cause of an accident within minutes. I thought BB's comments regarding MH 370 were credible, but he's losing the plot now. Anything to appear in print? |
The man was never a QFI nor a Training Captain. |
I thought he was a CC with Emirates on the B777 - which actually means he should know better than to rush into print.

Yep, it’s in print now. There’s some more ‘gems’ he’s offered as to the cause and how to prevent a similar accident. https://www.9news.com.au/world/2018/...eing-737-crash |
"The problem with these budgets airlines is that unlike Qantas, Emirates and everyone else, the pilots get in the flight simulator every six months and practice these things. "But if these guys are running on a low budget, they aren’t getting their simulator training." I could understand if he was critiquing the quality of their training or the standards being maintained by Indonesian carriers but I wouldn’t have any doubt they actually complete the minimum recurrent sim training as required by the regulator. |

Incidents and accidents
He's shot from the hip for sure, but he could also be forgiven for thinking what he thinks. 189 dead, the ticket must have been EXTREMELY cheap! |
Folks,
There is a high probability he is correct. Tootle pip!! |

"current pilot on jet transport types" - okay, I'll ask the obvious: "What types of jet transport category aircraft is Mr Byron Bailey current on?; and a supplementary, "What CAR216 organisation is he permitted to fly under?"
Reading his comments in the above URL, he did fail to mention that even the major airlines, can have an accident. EK's B777 in DXB attempting a simple go-around, does come to mind. |
He was on Sky news talking to David Speers saying “they were probably at 25000 so it was it was probably catastrophic,” if I were to be interviewed I would have looked at Flight Radar 24 first and also had a look at Pprune to see if someone had more information, (I already had so as soon as he said it I didn’t give him much credibility) I was less than impressed with the aviation expert Sky chose to talk to. |

I don’t really agree with his conclusions but from experience he has a point about the safety culture. I have personally witnessed so many dumb things done by these guys here in SEA like accepting 15 knot tail wind departures on wet runways, requesting a RNP approach in an aircraft not certified for it, through to intersection departures at night on wet runways. The whole system in Indonesia needs overhauling, when the tower will ask you what wind you need to accept the runway they are using you know there is a problem. I have the photos and videos if anyone is interested too. |
Bales is current on the Falcon 900 and other corporate jets and flies internationally and domestically FYI

kawkerxp, are you saying they illegally accepted those conditions against FCOM, or are you saying they’ve accepted those conditions at limiting weights and if so how do you know they were limiting? If it’s within limitations, and they have the performance to do so, I don’t see the issue unless being performance limited at TOGA with other options available. |
Bula, I’m not sure on the limitations for that particular aircraft but it was pretty silly in my opinion when there is a safer option. When the tower asked us what we needed the wind to be for take off they subsequently changed their read out even though the wind sock doesn’t lie. All I am saying is that when you have had a few bingles it might be advisable to go with the conservative options... take for example the airlines that are last to stop and first to fly after the number of volcanic eruptions, do they have better information? Or do they just have a higher risk tolerance? I don’t know the answer but the numbers don’t lie. |
Lead Sled & Centaurus - I think he's PROBABLY correct too, but to come out and declare that you know the cause within a few hours is simply "off". I'm at least as qualified as BB, though not now current (my last Bizjet, same as what BB flies) was five years ago, and I've long learned to keep my powder dry until all the facts are out.

As long as the performance figures allow for it, I would argue a higher V speed with lower thrust using the into wind can be as safe as a lower V speed and higher thrust setting with a tailwind. I guess safety and buffers are an individual preference rather than a legal one. Sad events none the less. |
History has shown many times that relying purely on the legal requirements doesn’t always provide for the safest outcome. Safety should be the first thing that is considered and ingrained in everything that we do as mere mortals. |
