GerardC.
You may be correct on a number of items. I (like all others who have posted on this topic) don't have the answers to this accident. All we can do is speculate with the meagre facts reported...

Video Game

Thank you Basil for what I consider to be the best post so far on this topic. I too have flown the 320 and agree with all you say. I will forever state that they should never have entered the CB in...

Fuel stop

Soaring the Skies,

The embarrassment of making a fuel stop should never get in the way of safety. Divert if necessary then stop somewhere for fuel. That's the Captains prerogative. The Captain is...

AVIATE

Razoray,

Part of AVIATE means don't fly through CBs when you are close to the "coffin corner". Had they deviated, all this talk of this law and that law and how to handle a stall would not be...

Extra Fuel

Delta T,
if you have to deviate around a large storm system and by doing so you run short of fuel, then you make an en route stop for fuel. It's that simple. They could have stopped in the Canaries...

VSI

Graybeard,

short answer is yes. If the needle was beyond 6,000 fpm they may not have realized how fast they were descending.

Flight through CBs

Capt Bloggs

I take it you haven't seen the satellite photo with the flight path superimposed on It. It shows the extent of the storm system with the route going through the cells. Can you explain...

Avoidance

Ricky Billy

You are so right. Thank you for those comments, my sentiments exactly.
Flying through CBs at high altitude, near the "coffin corner" at night is simply crazy. That's why we have...

pull back on controls

with a plugged pitot, in a updraft (climb) the IAS would increase. If the increase was shown on the ASI, the tendency would be to pull back to reduce the speed, perhaps?? It must have been very...

Basics

182 Flyer

Basics unfortunately have nothing to do with flying a jet at high altitude close to the "coffin corner" and then having supercooled water (ice) block all 3 pitot tubes simultaneously,...

AoA

Garrison

Is it possible that the super cooled water that made the 3 different pitot tubes block with ice simultaneously, would also have prevented the AoA from moving thereby rendering it useless?...

stall warning

The ancient Greek.

The stall warning discontinued when the speed was BELOW 60 Kts. How in blazes do you fly a large jet at 35000 ft at a speed of 60 Kts ?? At that height the speed has to be above...

Distress call

fboizard, I'll try to answer you. First of all, what good would it have done. No one on the ground could have helped them.
Second, They were just too busy hand flying and dealing with a multitude of...

GPS

Di Vosh, during the last 2 years of my flying career I carried a hand held portable GPS unit with me on all my flights, just in case. This was in response to the 757 crash out of the Puerto Plata DR...

Where have you been hiding? Did you not see the weather report? They did go through the worst part of the storm. Why did other aircraft divert up to 90 nm around the storm if not to avoid it.

Why ??

My question is why did the crew fly through the storm in the first place. Other aircraft diverted up to 90 nm to go around the storm but not this crew. WHY ??
Was the radar working ? Did they leave...
