I read a couple of days ago again in one of the local Kenyan Dailies that the airline & pilots have been exhonarated as far as currency,cerification, maintenance and etc .....
Let me see if i can find a link and I will post it |
Canadians never release anything from CVRs, not even selective transcripts, because of their famed privacy laws. The Kenyans or Cameroonians would be able to if they wanted to.

Sorry guys.....cant find the link

B777Heavy,
I read a couple of days ago again in one of the local Kenyan Dailies that the airline & pilots have been exonarated as far as currency,certification, maintenance and etc ..... Can't really blame him.... he's trying to reassure the punters. |

Those were ATC transcripts. Nothing from the CVR at all. Just a small amount of reported speech.
|
The only info on the SR111 CVR recordings was the very early leak (October '98) by ABC News. A reporter obtained a CVR transcript from who knows who and the network revealed the detailed contents. Obviously, it generated quite a stir with the Canadians, and the Network did not dwell on the topic again.

Bump - has there been any addition information been released? Thanks.
|
another bump
very strange - a huge fleet of B737-800s out there and no news, no prevention, no lessons learnt (yet)? |
Boeing non-announcement
Boeing did make a non-announcement about 7 weeks ago to operators (as did the Cameroonians to the world in their prelim report) that the DFDR revealed no "mechanical defect". Deafening silence on any other defect - whether electrical, hydraulic or indeed otherwise. As to the spoiler AD issue, the consensus seems to be that the DFDR would not have revealed a configuration anomaly. Perhaps their lawyers are using weasel words.....?:hmm:

Rainboe,
Dont hold your breath. With the track record of the authorities involved and the aircraft vendors global interests at stake I doubt you will find anything out....that is true. Just like the abijan airbus. pages of technical theory and not one mention of the training record of either pilot vis a vis poor ability, nepotism or similar disaster avoided previously . Been there seen the film , ate the pie met the rabbits |

It's dated Tuesday 11 December 2007

Indeed Rainboe, it gratifying that the investigation has been carried out in such a thorough and transparent manner.
|
The many KQ crew i have chatted to down route are already aware of the cause. Goback to the early days of this thread and it has already been touched upon. As rainboe says it will hit between the eyes.
Accidents are based on probability. Much is done to mitigate the odds. Past reputaions are based on past miitgation. Present reputations are based on current mitgation. Hence this thread. |
According to my source at Kenya Airways, a perfectly good plane clear of weather on a dark night flown like the Flash Airlines 737 in Egypt.

Report on Kenya Airlines Crash to be Finalized. Or so says this article --
Business Daily: - Company Industry|Report on Kenya Airways plane crash finalised |
Is it public ?!

April 27, 2010 Pilot Error Blamed for 2007 Crash That Killed 114 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 9:51 p.m. ET NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -- A newly released investigative report into the 2007 crash of a Kenya Airways flight in Cameroon that killed all 114 people on board blames pilot error. The report -- which took almost three years to be released -- says the Boeing 737-800 slowly banked right after a midnight departure on May 5, 2007, and that when the pilot finally noticed he aggravated the problem by banking even farther to the right. The report says the captain had a case of ''spatial disorientation.'' The airplane went into a spiral dive and crashed less than two minutes after takeoff. The plane had been delayed by a thunderstorm but the report says the weather was not likely a cause of the accident. All 108 passengers and six crew died. |
Did he 'think' he had engaged autopilot , but did not check CMD annunciation because of preoccupation with weather radar ?
