I know they were flying an Airbus 330 but the attitudes to maintain level flight are about the same. I went out of my way in my career to only fly Boeing AC. Had to fly MD80's for a brief period...

Every Boeing I flew had an unreliable AS chart for weight and altitude to hold a pitch setting and power setting. What these pilots did when they lost AS and autopilot was not anything remotely...

Most pilots don't put it in a stall condition when they have a simple loss of airspeed and an autopilot disconnect. They have the experience to know what to do.

I know this is taking us away from the current rhetoric but wouldn't two competent pilots encountering ordinary weather conditions at night with an autopilot disconnect because of IAS loss not be...

"If you compare it with AF447 the yoke would have been in his lap. If the captain would have not seen this, he most probably would have his blinds still in front of his eyes."

I agree with this...

Cavemen may have done much better knowing what was going on by a yoke instead of a side stick. How would you react in a Boeing at 35,000 ft if the other dude pulled the yoke all the way back and...

A long time ago, right after the stick, we invented the yoke. It was a big wheel like thing with no top that made it obvious what everybody was doing in the cockpit controlling the airplane. It...

If I ever need heart surgery or brain surgery, I hope the airline industry isn't hiring my doctor.

With all of their stall warnings going off and not responding, I don't think a baseball bat hitting them on the head would have helped. The captain by the time he got up there in his groggy...

This won't fix anything because once or twice a year having upset recovery does not a pilot make. They will check one more square for the ten minutes they did that training but it won't fix anything...

I, by choice never flew the Airbus but friends that do say if you leave the plane in a bank it maintains it forever. Even in alternate law. If that is true it wouldn't roll inverted but I am sure a...

Chris, I think the autopilot engineers didn't want the AP flying the airplane if there were two competent pilots to take over if the inputs to the computer were lost. The AP if programmed to keep...

Nostradamus wouldn't have pitched up 15 degrees if they had airplanes then. Most pilots would have pitched up 2.5 degrees and used about 85%N1. This guy was out of control.

I think hand flying using those brain cells and knowing how to do it would have prevented the whole fiasco. 3 degrees nose up, 85% N1 would be a good start.
