Many many pilots and a lot of instructors do not know how to salvage one. I can tell you that here in Australia, where I have trained and examined dozens of flight instructors, all of them were trained in bounced landings. I had to play student and try various ways of messing up the landing and they had to recover. The catch was I had to also be able to recover if they messed up the recovery. That gave me a great deal of respect for the design of training singles. |

I agree that there are any number of phenomena that can compromise what happens from 50’ over the threshold to the end of the TDZ. But, as professionals, it is our responsibility to assess/analyse the effects of that phenomena and to take the appropriate and safest course of action. Exiting the TDZ still airborne be it due to floating or because of a bounce DEMANDS, BY SOP, a balked landing procedure to be executed at my company - about the only exception would be if you’re on fire or carrying a really significant technical issue. Performing deep/long landings whether deliberate or as a result of questionable technique are indicative of a poor SOP culture. This potentially leads to a scenario where someone misjudges a landing....but it’s “ok” because we’re allowed to land outside the TDZ....and then you touch down at the end of the reciprocal TDZ.... Keep it standard. Keep it safe. Don’t put yourself in a position where you no longer know where you are beyond the threshold....... A4 Apologies for the thread creep. Out. |
Looks like one fire truck was there at about 2 mins, but then spent the next 30 secs wafting its cannon on the ground, up in the air and no-where near the front of the fire which is where the people might be. Very poor response in both time and capability.
|
There is video of people running to the hangars and fire trucks just setting off and driving past them. Sounds pretty poor. As usual it's always three things, initial problem, very poor (crash) landng ruptures fuel tanks, slow evacuation/poor fire response = deaths.

If they were only alerted when the aircraft actually crashed, it appears they got there within the standard. 2 minutes can be a long time.

The collapse would be badder than now... |
Bags on board
The implementation of locks would introduce a lot of extra weight, certification, extra SOPs and new procedures. It's a big rethink and redesign. I doubt this will happen in the next 10 or even 20 years.
The quick and simple solution is what Ryanair and Wizz did, but only partially. Stop people coming on board with huge bags. They only allow certain amount of tickets to be sold with onboard luggage. If however, airlines would stop cashing in on these and ban massive bags on board it would certainly stop these unnecessary deaths. However this will stop them selling priority and it's a massive cash cow. |
andrasz: positioning a fire truck nearby landing runway, more significantly somewhere half-point abeam, with a partially uncontrollable aircraft approaching, does not sound like that much of a smart idea. I am not disputing your suspicion about the delay to start rescue efforts, just that the proposed could not have applied.
Hope to read your comments and account on the situation as more information unfolds, if you will have time later. |

EDIT: Auxtank thanks for the video of the VS landing below, that is exactly how it should be done. |
Every time there's an evacuation, we always get the usual droning on about pax taking their bags. What do pax do every normal flight? They grab their bags and get off. What do people do when frightened? They revert to type. If you want to stop them taking their bags in an evacuation, put them in the hold. Until the airlines are prepared to do this, there's not much point complaining about our passengers' behaviour, is there? |
If this started with a lightning strike, I hope it happened because they were denied flying around the TS. The combination of TS and Moscow is very bad. You ask for a diversion around the weather, and get NEGATIVE from ATC. There are so many restricted areas and very limited space to fly in. |
What about special seals for the baggage compartments? Similar to the ones used for catering trolleys, but much stronger? Mechanical locks would need approval, be expensive, etc, but this sort of seal would be very cheap and easy to approve.
The hat rack could have 2 holes (easy to add to existing AC) where the seals would go though, these seals would have a large band hanging from them with stripes on it or something signaling the hat rack is locked. Time-permitting, the pax could be allowed 2 mins before the cabin is secure to get their precious passports and Ipads from their bags and after that the bags would go to the luggage compartment that would be sealed straight away. So now everyone has their precious sh*t with them and they know that the compartments are sealed and not to be touched. Plus if someone would try to force the compartment on ground, the guy standing behind would definitely push the idiot and no bag would be retrieved, the other pax wouldn't see any bags coming out and wouldn't try to get theirs. Seriously, how difficult is this to implement? |

Never mind the apparently newsworthy symptoms of industry-wide poor evacuation strategies (strategies which result in easy trolley evacuation for those so disposed nearest the exits), I am becoming sick of repeated airings on Sky News at least of the apparent official Aeroflot statement claiming evacuation was achieved in 55 seconds and invitation to compare that to the "industry norm" of 90 seconds. Forty odd people (more than half) did not successfully evacuate and died, so the Aeroflot statement, if correctly reported, is perfunctorily abject nonsense. Notwithstanding their embarrassment, has the entire industry really learned so little about evacuation imperatives since 55 died in the fire at Manchester on British Airtours 28M in 1985?

there is no technological exports what so ever. |

I expect the bags issue was a small % of those that could have survived but did not. If you were behind the wing your chances were low - all that smoke and flame that entered the cabin was going up hill toward the cockpit - you see several videos of it exiting the cockpit (the pilot and co-pilot had oxygen and smoke goggles). That sort of smoke will take you down in just a few breaths. |

Another thing, now about the SSJ.
As a guy who follows the situation in Russia and the Russian politics pretty close, I can tell you with 100% certainty that the point of developing the SSJ was never to build a good AC. The main objective was to steal money from the Russian budget to fund yachts and mansions to Putin's friends and to fuel state-TV propaganda about how Russia is developing tech products. This may sound as a childish conspiracy, but check any other Russian projects, the space rockets fall half of times, the Russian cars are sh*t, there is no technological exports what so ever. The slow response is due to the very low qualification of the Russian response teams and the absolute dont-give-a-fu**ness about human life. The same exact thing happens every time there is some sort of disaster. The firetrucks have no water, the ambulance has a flat and can't get to the scene. The country has become a 3rd world hole essentially. My advice to you, don't fly, drive, buy anything Russian. Have some respect for your life and health. |

... Interesting: https://www.boeing.com/news/frontier...nfeature1.html The Russkis might not have the technological wealth of others, but they certainly have the brains for it. |
ANVALDRA If there were no such things as stereotypes the word would never have been invented. Russia has had a reputation for decades of stealing technology from more advanced nations including many aircraft designs and then manufacturing inferior products. It's also known for its secretiveness and antagonistic attitude toward the west even post USSR. All this is well documented.

With regards to cabin baggage, simply charge people £100 to take it on board and limit it to the first 50 people. then shown people a rather graphic video as part of the safety demonstration showing what happens when you prioritise someones life over your bag.
Watching people walk away from the plane after the crash they had no urgency to get away from the plane and just wandered around, the truck that was trying to get there struggled to get through. |
At some points in the video, you can see bodies coming down head first, either after crawling or being pushed by someone else. Also, congratulations to that brave man that decided to climb back after evacuating, in order to see if he can still do anything. The FAs probably left too early.
|
Not many came out after 55 seconds; those that did may have been cabin crew. In any case, the statement about 55 seconds can show that, in fact, the "industry norm" of 90 seconds (with half the doors inop) is inadequate.
As for Unterlinden, the point wasn't just that there was plenty of fault to be distributed, and not just the ATC, but rather that inaccurate popular media portrayals of the fault fueled the misery. Similarly, saying that "The jerk in 4C killed 5 people by grabbing his bag" will have real-world consequences. With smartphones, someone's going to have the grim task of sorting through all the onboard video/audio and assessing the evacuation. |

As for secretiveness........... think wikileaks told us some of what was happening in the "Free" West, where your personal data is all for sale. |

Having seen a fair number of 'evacuation videos', I still wonder how I would react if the worst happened. No, I wouldn't take my bag [I hope] and I would get as far away as possible [I hope]. But you can never be certain exactly how you would react under those circumstances .. you just hope you will react sensibly.

Sheremetyevo Superjet 100 in flames
Why so much intense flame at the back of the aircraft? Fuel is in the wings and photos I have seen suggest the wings are intact
|
A couple of observations after viewing the various videos.
Just like the Manchester air disaster of the BA 737, in the last few seconds of forward movement the aircraft skewed/turned perpendicular to the wind causing the flames to fan across the rear fuselage. Possibly caused by one engine still running. It probably sealed the fate of some unlucky souls who may have otherwise evacuated. There were gaps of in the evacuation line coming down the slides, could this be due to PAX retrieving their baggage or just panic and pushing due to the situation. R.I.P all lost souls. |

BA 38 the landing gear struts came right through the wings.
|
I agree with your scenario, i.e. first bounce before video starts, but must say that we have no idea yet of possible handling difficulties.

No it didn't. It left it's right main about sixty yards behind and over to the right and it sheared it's left main flat to the ground and dragging behind which caused the inboard flap to backflip over the trailing edge of the wing. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....be0bbe51b7.jpg Edit; Having said that the right main before detaching DID rupture the fuel tanks and there was significant fuel leakage. Point taken. |
Except there may have been control issue we don't know about
|
If people want to go on about Russia's failings or lack of them please take it to Jet Blast and leave this thread to details about the crash.

Then try and prosecute someone for it and see how it goes going after people who behave irrationally in an emergency. We all know what we'd do when watching it on YouTube. Whole different ball game in the middle of it. Only practical answer is to stop cabin baggage bigger than will go under a seat, enforce it 100% and remove the ovehead bins. The airlines are never going to do this though. |

I've seen people jumping out of burning buildings, people that were completely frozen, people that are totally erratic and need to be grabbed and calmed down. Most pax only experience with leaving airplanes is: - Grab your luggage - leave airplane I think some of them haven't tought about it while acting. Just a tought before everyone criminalizes the people leaving with the luggage. |
