Lion never started an Aussie Domestic operation however they did lodge. They pulled out because of high expected costs.

Every time there is an incident/accident, this place is bombarded with posts made by 'instant experts' based upon ADS-B data and tenuous links to previous events.
There is nothing professional about this. Nothing. It's also wholly disrespectful to those who have been tragically effected by these sad events.
I just wish we could leave this to the experts from the relevant countries safety authorities, accident investigation departments and other relevant stake-holders who are highly trained in such investigations and who are also motivated to get the answers as to 'why' as soon as practicable.
I know this is an open 'forum' but perhaps the moderators might consider some filtering to at least retain professionalism, facts and accuracy from posts made on PPRUNE, rather than drivel and conjecture, when we are faced with tragic events such as today.
RIP to all those lost.

I don´t get it.
You have 3 independent sources for speed and hight. If you have different indications then compare the 3 values. When the CAPT indication is different to IFSD (integrated standby flight display) and FO indication and these two are equal then switch indication and NAV on 2 (FO) and have a good flight.

It's a bit early to state with confidence that the accident resulted from A: Unreliable airspeed indications, and B: specifically, the crew's failure correctly execute said procedures.

So if those two indications match at 20 knots you’re going to switch and use them?
You level off using pitch power datums, assess which readout is correct (maybe two are erroneous due impact damage with birds) then make a logical decision using all the information to hand. Methodically.

I agree, I wonder if this is the sort of speed you would reach if you were to put the throttles to the position they should go to as part of the checklist for an air speed indicator failure. We have had a lot of stalled aircraft in recent years, albeit at altitude, but my understanding is that there is a set throttle position & pitch that gives a reasonable guarantee that the plane will maintain altitude whilst diagnosis of the situation is performed assuming good working engines & flight surfaces.

Guys, all ideas about the cause of the crash are pure speculation at the moment. Could be a fault in the engines, pivot tube covers, pilot faults or a big bird ****ted into the engines.
We'll read it soon, latest in the accident report and personally I hope, that they'll learn about this accident. Lion Air and Indonesia in general showing a pretty poor safety record....

To put it differently, it is one thing to speculate that unreliable airspeed may have been a factor, and that there is evidence whcih supports that speculation. It is something completely different to state as fact, as you have done, that we know that the passengers were killed by the incompetence of the crew. Sadly, I suspect that you may lack the intelligence and basic human decency to grasp that distinction.

A stall seems unlikely as they rather seemed to be going quite fast.
Unreliable might mean too hig, unreliable might mean too low, for sure unreliable means neither the pilot nor any speculations should rely on it...
Anyway, the aircraft took of around 90 Minutes after sunrise in good weather. Quite different from Birgenair or AF, there was clear visual reference all the time. Good pilots could handle aircraft under such conditions even after full loss of instruments...
It could be flight controls problem.

If your GPS reported groundspeed is is approximately 300 knots, a stall is pretty unlikely.
Two minutes in to the flight, 334 KTS at 1600 ft, I 'd be interested to know about flap retraction and whether something broke off leading to flight controls issue ongoing and unrecoverable.

did the accident crew know about the technical issues of the previous flight? I know they *should* know since it was written up, but we saw in the Air Canada SFO pre-flight briefing the crew totally missed vital information about the runway closure. Perhaps the same thing here, the accident crew omitted reading the tech writeup, or didn't take onboard the significance of it?

This one is really staring you in the face. Airspeed problem previous flight. System flushed and tested OK on ground.
New flight, loss of control.
Not 100% sure, but I believe a test flight by one of our technical pilots would have been done before the aircraft was released to the line if this snag happened in my airline.
