ManTiger: Yes they may have an ATP license and thousands of logged flight hours, no doubt, but Colgan 3407 is a good example of why hours doesn't necessarily translate to experience as one may have thought. Most air accidents had a good chance of survivability if not for pilot error. Yet, these pilots have thousands of flight hours. All pilots are trained to handle emergencies but not all pilots are equipped to manage real emergencies. 2 Likes |

lexy2014: Thanks for this comment. I was just about to respond to him that he might actually have a point about pilots relying so much on technology, but this issue goes way beyond that. Didn't you read articles online where they said details about the MCAS and the turning off the autoplilot when the plane went into a nosedive wasn't even in the manual? Did you read that the manual for the plane was really flimsy and didn't contain a lot of the additional details that were required to operate the plane? Did you read that Boeing told their customers there was no need to re-train their pilots on the use of the 737 MAX despite the fact that there had been significant changes to the operations / architecture of the plane? All because they were trying to reduce cost for the airlines while maximizing their own sales too.. Are you more experienced than all the airmen that had previously complained about all these issues across the US & beyond? What of the engine placement issue which is the major factor that affected the plane's center of gravity initially? That was what necessitated the MCAS, and can a software totally resolve a design issue? I recognise that there could be skill gaps between the pilots in the 3rd world or developing countries vs. those in the 1st world but please cut these guys some slack!!! No one wants to die and these guys are trying their best and improving their skills as well. It's easy to be keypad warriors and analysing stuff from your desks, but you don't know better than the aviation experts and other experienced pilots who have had 1st-hand experience with this planes and recommend further investigation. 6 Likes |

KingAzubuike: Comparing a turbo-fan jet engine to a propeller engine is doing great injustice to the cessna craft..............It is similar to comparing a Hennessey Venom to Toyota Tiny Light. OR comparing Obama's intellect to Buhari's |

BigBashiru: No. They don't. But they need to work actively on fixing issues like this and train pilots on all updates to their system. |

lexy2014: I did not say anywhere that the aircraft is safe. What I am saying is that it is clear those that survive have better flying skills and are probably able toreact better tothe flaws of new technology. What I am saying is that technology should never erase the need for sound basics. As a matter of fact new technologies mean a higher level of basic skills in any endeavour not less. What I am saying is that third world countires should go easy on the rush to upgrade or import new technologies when it is clear they have inadequate basic knowledge and competencies on how to troubleshoot when it comes to death and life matters. You will never be ahead of a Californian geek when the next Iphone comes. If it gets bad he will likely be able to recover faster than you. If your life depended on the phone you are better of mastering an older model. If you investigate most pilot error led crashes the bulk of them were caused by lack of situational awarenes. The pilots were just not able to grasp what the aircraft was doing and in some cases even worsened the situation by wrong remedial actions. Technology can never compensate for that. Technology gone wrong is irrecoverable in those cases. No one is absolving Boeing here. The Max 8 obviously has problems and they have not done enough to remediate the situation. But what else is out there that is potentially catastrophic. Prepare for that. Only the living can blame. |

Reference: No one said u said d Max8 is safe. What u are saying now is an after thought maybe more information have come to light. D statements u made earlier was alluding 2d fact that d Ethiopian airline crashed because of d incompetence/limited knowledge of d pilots. And u tried 2 create d impression that d American & European pilots flying Max8 are better than their counterparts in Ethiopia. Hence, u said that d issue had been resolved in US& Europe. B4 u said that 40 countries had banned d plane. That's y I put those posers to u maybe u no something that d whole world doesn't no. 1 Like |
