      A review of side sticks might be in order. Air France 447 happened because the flight crew were holding the side sticks in opposite directions, nullifying the desired attitude correction. The conventional, more intuitive control yoke used in Boeing aircraft would never allow this error.

    Too many people overlook the obvious, attributing the "U.S. flying culture" as being more "hands on" with training. What most overlook is the sheer number of military background pilots due to the enormous military flying opportunity. With a massive Air Force, Naval and Marine opportunity as well as ANG there is a huge number of available military pilots. Most other countries barely have a handful of military pilots each year. So therein lies the difference. It's not necessarily that the U.S. flying culture is intentionally more industrious about hand flying, rather, the culture starts out with an abundance of available aviators who were already trained to hand fly.

    I watched a TH-cam video that said; "727 pilot makes a manual landing" !!!!! That was such a big deal they made a video to prove it could actually be done.
    I did it thousands of times over a 30 year UAL career on the 727. The A/P was usually used in cruise, all takeoffs, climbs, maneuvering to land under about 10,000 feet, and the landings were flown by hand 98% of the time.
    These days if the A/P kicks off for some reason it is an emergency.
    There also was no such thing as the "startle factor". We were paying attention and made no assumption that the machine knew more than we did.

    Cutting the power to the flight computers on a fly-by-wire system. Great idea, bud!
    The warning was annoying but the plane was flying perfectly well. It's a bit like the kids asking "are we there yet" from the back seat during the road trip. You don't go suffocating the kids with a pillow, you just have to put up with it until you reach your destination.
    The other good option would be to call the company flight engineers from the cockpit and put some informed grey matter to the issue.
    If the captain was in his chair, he could have taken control of the aircraft when he saw his co-pilot struggling. But, was he in his chair? Was he able to reach the breakers while seated?
    Poor grasp of English Language was also an issue. However, in a life-and-death crisis situation, I'm not sure that even I, a native English speaker, would speak coherently. You never know until it happens.

      I honestly don't know what I would do in the situation. Aircraft should be equipped with backup manual control if the electronics fail, or allow a technician to remotely access the aircraft system software (however, bad actors could hack into the plane's computer and crash). Or finally, like you said, I would call the company's engineering department to fix the issue via troubleshooting. Maybe AI could help determine if a computer is faulty, and use error correcting code (self-diagnostics) to fix a sensor issue, but if the hypothetical AI system fails, then the pilots are out of luck. Kinda curious what aviation would look like in 2040. Would automation work for ATTOL (Autonomous Taxi, Take-Off and Landing), or bring yet another plane down? RIP to the passengers and crew who had to deal with electronics issues on planes...

      Presumably this is also another time where the Airbus sidestick is just inferior to the Boeing shared yoke.

    I'm seeing some comments referring to electronic flight systems being a problem in and of themselves, but the simple fact of the matter is that if we're talking about instrument calibration, even the most basic vacuum-driven gyro instruments of the kind one would find on a Cessna require calibration and warm-up on the ground in order to function effectively. One simply should never ever attempt to reset gyro-driven instruments in flight because the gyros will not have a guaranteed stable environment in which to calibrate themselves.

      C* algorithm is very close to natural (g load and pitch rate added into negative feedback loop). Also its very helpful to stabilize the aircraft - especially on "challenging" approaches, which increases safety of flight. Also A320 (if I remember correctly) have a "direct law" which put deflection from sidesticks directly into same deflection of control surfaces.

Especially if I would need to decide on a feature by feature basis I find a use for most any automation available today and even valid arguments why it might make a substantial improvement and add safety in the day by day operation of high-tech products.
      But - and there's always a but - higher degrees of automation allows people with lesser understanding of the inner workings of a complex system to handle these. And that may turn into a huge problem once your system moves outside the envelope of parameters which have been considered to be "realistic" by the system designers.

    With so much automation gizmos and elaborate diagnostic procedures pilots are effectively trained to play guessing games with the aircraft control systems. The result is they don't know how the plane flies, if they ever did. Loss of situational awareness is a combination of confusion and panic causing the pilot to lose connection with the basic reality he needs to maintain control, aircraft attitude and speed factors. Fly, navigate, and then communicate is the formula for success. Read, press buttons, and cuss doesn't work very well.

    I am a pilot that flies single engine planes. When I say that I have 2000+ flight hours, I am saying that I've actually flown the pale for 2000+ hours. When an airline pilot says that they have 10,000 hours, all that means that they have been sitting in the pilot's seat for 10,000 hours but did NOT actually fly the plane for that time. Thay is really annoying that they claim all of those hours when they probably actually flew for, perhaps, 300 hundred hours. (I am probably giving them the benefit of the doubt.) Letting the auto pilot fly the plane is not actually fling the plane, but rather makes them observers, not pilots. BTW, a stall is not necessarily when the plane fly's at too high an angle. A stall is simply when there is not enough air flow over wing to provide sufficient lift, i.e., flying too slowly. In my humble opinion, the overuse of the autopilot makes many pilots too complacent. It makes for a far superior piolet. When I drive my car, I scan the instruments on the dashboard every few seconds out of habit.

    The general aviation community in the US is _really_ good....its one of the most cohesive and respectable subcultures I know of, and unless you go military, you have to get knee-deep in that culture for years to be a commercial pilot.
    What I find interesting about GA in the US. though is the FAA gives some pretty strict outer-bounds, the community here seems to work very hard to manage itself well within those bounds The cohesiveness of the aviation culture creates a real mood of cooperation, and it allows the whole system to regulate itself unusually well--like expertly. It's a unique thing.
    This may be true all over, I have no idea, but its unique compared to any other "industry" I know of here. The skill and personal financial commitment it takes to fly, I imagine attracts a uniquely apt and measured group of people.

      AF447 was ultimately down to poor CRM. Not only did the Captain not seem to pick up on FO Bonin's concerns regarding his confidence in handling the weather, but he did not provide a thorough briefing to FOs Robert and Bonin in terms of command gradient - in other words, he designated FO Bonin as the (temporary) PIC without giving FO Robert clear instructions as to the circumstances under which he could take overall control from Bonin if necessary.
      FO Robert correctly diagnosed the status of the aircraft both before and during the accident sequence, but because the Captain did not explicitly give him latitude to emphatically take control, he focused largely on trying to get the Captain back to the flight deck in order to confirm that his assessment was correct and he should take control.

      @@Levi-in8eq I think the author of the video you saw might have got things a bit confused. "Fly-By-Wire" means that the connection between the flight controls and the flight surfaces is entirely electronic, as opposed to mechanical or electro-mechanical-hydraulic. That is an entirely separate matter from whether the controls on one side are connected to the controls on another. The Airbus Fly-By-Wire types (A320, 330, 340 and 380) do not interconnect both sides or provide force-feedback, whereas the Boeing Fly-By-Wire types (B777, 787) provide interconnection mechanically and force-feedback via software. The debate over the difference between the two approaches has been fierce since the late 1980s.
      Flight crew on the Airbus FBW types are trained to determine the other pilot's inputs based on what the aircraft is doing - in airliner operations there is only ever supposed to be one member of the flight crew making control inputs anyway. Critics of Airbus's approach tried to make the case that if the pilot in the left seat had felt that the pilot in the right seat had been pulling back, then the outcome would have been different - however this ignores two important facts - firstly, as I said, only one of the flight crew are ever supposed to be on the controls at any one time, and this is true of all multi-crew airliner operations regardless of whether Airbus, Boeing or any other type. The second important fact is that there have been several accident involving airliners with connected controls where the pilot in control pulled the aircraft into a stall and the other pilot did not notice, despite their control yoke indicating it was happening.

Likewise, we don't get a pass just because for some incidents it wouldn't have mattered.
      The guy at AIrbus behind their controls philosophy was a pilot's pilot, and set out to eliminate as many of the causes behind airliner crashes as possible. Ultimately (IMO) he overthought it, creating so many "conditionals" as to the state of the aircraft that, especially with reduced visual/tactile cues, one crew after another has come to a bad end. Things which tested well with simulator crews in a development environment didn't always hold up in the real world.
      But anyone (including me : ) can poke holes in an engineering philosophy/implementation. I've cited what I consider weaknesses in the Airbus philosophy, but how do the accident statistics stack up between the major airframe makers? About the same over time, with accidents so rare that any fine-tooth conclusions from the raw numbers must be viewed with great caution*. So however many times the Airbus philosophy has led to a crash (which AIrbus tacitly acknowledges with crash-instigated revisions over time), it must have saved some airliners as well.
      * It would be hard to argue that the accident numbers being three times worse for the A310 as they are for the A300 is because Airbus built a follow-on which was inherently three times more dangerous.

Ultimately (IMO) he overthought it...". In fact that's not true. There was no one person who developed the Airbus FBW control strategy, it involved iterative studies over more than a decade (all the way back to Concorde), and despite the claims from some quarters, it had nothing to do with eliminating specific accident scenarios nor making pilot input (or systems feedback) subordinate to the technology.
      What it was in fact designed to accomplish (particularly in Normal Law) was to provide flight crew the maximum possible control authority while keeping the aircraft within the flight envelope - for example, in the event of an incident where evasive actions were required, it allowed flight crews to command maximum pitch and roll on the sidestick, safe in the knowledge that the aircraft would not stall, enter a spiral dive or pull Gs that risked damaging the airframe. Other than that the aircraft would perform exactly as they were commanded. Some have claimed that Airbus's philosophy was intended to reduce training expense by being significantly more automation-centric than the competition, and that wasn't true either. The intended training savings came from developing a series of types from short-haul narrowbodies to long-haul widebodies which behaved in a manner so similar as to be unprecedented within the industry (in other words, they took Boeing's approach regarding B757/767 commonality to the next level). And over time, they got better at it - I've read several articles regarding the A380 which state that it handles more like the A320 than the A330/340 types do.
      The vast majority of the earlier accidents involving FBW Airbus types seem to have stemmed from autoflight mode confusion rather than issues with the control philosophy, and autoflight mode confusion was very much an industry-wide problem at the time.

Removing the redundancy from systems is just ridiculous, it's as if nothing was learnt from the last 70 years of commercial flight Boeing are toast reputation wise and the FAA allowing in house certification was a big mistake.

      I totally agree. However, in this computerized age we are stuck with them. When they work as designed (almost 100%), we take it for granted. What bothers me is the bizarre and confusing ways they can fail. It must be exasperating and terrifying to pilots when these systems decide to misbehave. Great video though!

    Advanced technology has turned pilots into passengers. Skills become blunted. Something goes amiss, buzzers and gongs sound, the operations manual comes out, and the pilot and first officer become further distracted. Situational awareness degrades. Is anybody actually flying the aircraft? You'd be safer in a DC-6B, or a Boeing 707, with pilots whose skills are sharp. When computers take over the job of flying, the risks increase, because the pilots
    lose focus, and their skills erode. Passivity is the wrong state of mind for safe flight.

      While there is a point to it, let's be realistic, no one would be safer in 707 or DC-6B, their fatal incident rate is absolutely horrid compared to modern aircrafts with high level of automation, like really abysmal by today's standards.

    Flying death trap. Ultimately, I'd rather trust my life to three well trained men flying an aircraft with four engines and yokes rather than trusting to luck, side sticks and so much pilot reliance upon a bunch of integrated circuits. Bring back the 60 minute rule, the Flight Engineer and give full control of the aircraft back to the pilots.

    • @tomriedinger6675
      @tomriedinger6675 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Unfortunately, pilot error is the number one cause of accidents. The automation and it's redundancy make flying vastly safer than in the past. I'm not downplaying pilot training, but just consider the incredible safety record of modern airlines. As you go back in time the accident frequency was much higher.

    • @tomriedinger6675
      @tomriedinger6675 ปีที่แล้ว

      Another terrifying aspect of the China Eastern crash shows in the altitude changes that took place during the descent. The plane briefly leveled off before continuing on it's dive. I can imagine the other pilot fighting for control in those last desperate seconds. Just horrific.

    Surely pilots at some stage in life as kids play with toy gliders and see what a stall is and how to fix it with down trim (or nose weight). Any would be pilot without this 'play' learning should not be flying a real plane because they are not familiar at a most basic level.

    • @outwiththem
      @outwiththem 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Most Usa GA pilots find very difficult to push nose down when stalling under 2,000 agl. Glider style stall recovery. No power stall recovery. They rather be power dependent pilots by adding power more than let the wing fly first. CFI..

    Maybe it's GIGO syndrome in today's highly sophisticated computer redundant aircraft regardless of who is the manufacturer. Some may have issues with this but look at the old WW II film of B-17's landing in Great Britain and the aircraft is full of bullet/flak holes, the entire vertical stabilizer missing, tail horizontal stabilizers missing, parts of the body and wings missing, yet young pilots landed those behemoths. Is there something missing in today's pilots that was once possessed by pilots from another era? Maybe. Maybe not.

    The number of times a functioning plane crashes because of loss of spatial awareness, where pilots stop looking at the instruments, where they pitch the nose up when they should level it and cause a stall, or one pilot fights another, contradicts inputs, it stands out to me. Clearly human nature means our senses can deceive us, we can perceive falling when we are not doing so and so forth. But in all of these if the pilots had simply used the instruments, acted as they commanded, the accidents would be avoided. I am no expert and I fear I am making this sound far easier than it is and stating the obvious, but perhaps more focus on instrument flying is needed, forcing pilots to always refer to them even when their body is telling them something else? I am not a pilot so forgive me. "Pull down" seems horribly phrased however.

    Blaming these failures on "Pilot Error" is a complete cop-out by airline manufacturers with AirBus leading that charge. When these highly automated fly-by-wire liners inundate pilots with a cacophony
    of system error that they cannot possibly figure out THAT is not pilot error, that is a System Error.
    That is happening, primarily because manufacturers like Boing and Airbus--while they may have a decent understanding of avionics their understanding of, and reliance on AI and understanding of computer limitations in general is woefully lacking. Redundancy is GREAT but if you have 5 autonomous systems ALL getting the same garbage in data from the same piece of external hardware, then your redundancy is worth nothing.
    There IS, nonetheless a Pilot error issue to be addressed. Pilots today increasingly lack the experience or ability to FLY planes out of catastrophe when the auto systems fail. That is a failure of training by an industry far too reliant on Auto flying systems. It is, IMO, just another version of "System Failure".

      -Resetting breakers without knowing what it’ll actually do while in flight.
      -Took 7 seconds to respond to the clear AP-disconnect warning.
      -Became spatially disoriented despite instrumentation being normal.
      -One pilot pulls up with a stall warning going off, while the other gives orders while also giving inputs. Neither pushes the take-over button.
      Frankly, I don’t see how this _isn’t_ pilot error. The cacophony of alarms isn’t good, obviously, but this accident originated entirely from the pilots’ improper decisions.
      The problem of automation isn’t that it can go wrong - it’s that pilots aren’t prepared for when it does. I honestly think the delayed response to the cavalry alarm speaks the loudest - these pilots were not prepared to fly the aircraft themselves. But that’s a training issue, not an automation issue.

    No the US is not doing more hand flying, why would that be good? CRM is what all airlines worldwide embrace and that was started in US I think. Pilots are pilots, auto pilot isn't replacing the pilot, it's freeing up time so that pilots can focus on more, it is a good thing. Probably pulling the breaker to... is not what pilots should be doing, this airline had alot of training deficiencies going on.....mmmm
