    More than one fatal flaw here. One was not monitoring and calling out the altitude before the aircraft reached decision height as required by the before landing checklist. Another was unintentionally setting the G/A mode and then not making a correction when they realized that the display was abnormal on the flight director. The major mistake was not doing a go around when they knew that the approach was unstable and they were below the decision height.

      Frank - help me out here. i have been watching Allec's videos for 3 or 4 years now. VOR/LOC is a system on the ground that assists the plane in the air? it communicates data to keep the aircraft on track to the runway? i am going to do my own research to see what i can find - to possibly answer my own question. i have watched so many of his videos but am not 100% sure on some of the technical abbreviations or what they do between aircraft and the ground.

    • @DeltaFoxtrotWhiskey3
      @DeltaFoxtrotWhiskey3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I don't think they ever realized that the display issue was a result of selecting the wrong mode. Confirmation bias told the FO that he had rolled the switch the appropriate number of detents and therefore he was looking at the correct screen. The investigators discovered that proceeding just a bit passed it would result in getting the next mode selected without actually feeling the "click" of the switch going to the next position. I doubt the FO knew about that little bug so it never would've entered his mind that the display was in G/A Mode when he knows he put it in APP based on counting the clicks.

    @rickpilot601 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    the flaw was the excessive airspeed after approach intercept. often happens that one gets 'intercept localizer and track inbound', should be a clue to configure and reduce speed to approach speed ready for the clearance for the ILS i.e to follow the glideslope down, or descend to published altitude to intercept it. The rule is "you can't go down and slow down", or not easily. The approach was unstable, the speed was excessive, vertical speed was excessive, all factors for a go-around. Don't know of the cockpit video representation is accurate, but flaps were showing 5 when 'landing checklist complete' was called. Lack of standard calls and communication from the crew. Flight director discussion incidental, even flying flight director one should be cross checking raw data, inc heading, loc deviation, g/s, vertical speed, altitude. they were behind the airplane, period

    I remember one time many years ago flying into Dallas/Ft. Worth airport when we suddenly broke out of super thick fog about two minutes before touchdown. It was an unpleasant experience. The cabin got super quiet as all conversation stopped. Then the tension instantly snapped when perfect visibility instantly appeared. How horrible that everyone on the flight in this video did not experience the same experience.

    Not a good month for US airlines. Also in July, 1973 there was the crash of Pan Am flight 816 after take off from Tahiti. The cause was never determined (the French gov't never tried all that hard to find a cause or to find the black boxes) There was also the crash of Ozark Airlines flight 809 in St Louis on July 23rd. 38 killed, six survivors
    The captain here seems a little on the arrogant or sarcastic side.

      The black boxes of flight 816 ended up 700 m (2 300 feet) under water. There was no way anything could be recovered at that depth back then, especially given black boxes didn't ping a signal to pinpoint their location in 1973. It's not a matter of French authorities or not.

      An asymptote is like a curve that approaches a line but never gets there, or descending at a decreasing rate of descent, as you might if you are above the glidescope and want to catch it just before landing. I think normal descents, including approaches, are constant rates of descent and therefore not an asymptote.

      The trainee pilot had been hired around 1957 by North East Airlines(Yellow Birds) Corp Base Boston I believe. He went on sick leave in 1967 and had just regained his medical. He previously had been a CV880 F/O, and DC3 Captain. He had completed Ground School after his second attempt, completed simulator, and 3 hours in the airplane. He had no actual crew assignment on this flight. He was an observer only. If you look carefully at the accident report you may notice the operating F/O did not have a MEL rating. Fact is at the time the F/O was not required to have a multi engine rating. It was in late 1974 or early 1975 the FAA changed the rule to require MEL certification. All current 121 F/O without a MEL were issued the Rating automatically without any further testing. The change my have been a result of this accident.

      He was flying for Northeast prior to this crash, which he did for years. Delta was the new owner of Northeast, that's how he was to fly this aircraft. He was still transitioning to jet liners at that time.

    Was the aircraft repaired and returned to service?

      You're kidding, right? The aircraft was totally destroyed by impact and fire. You must be an idiot.

    Definitely error on the pilots this time. 😕 Reason 25, why I won't fly.

      You're still thousands of times more likely to die in a car accident though.

      @@watershed44 The point is...if your plane is heading for the ground, you have absolutely no control of the situation & you are definitely going to die. Many times if you are driving a car, you can do something either to prevent/avoid the accident or you can use the car's safety devices to prevent your death. No...if I can't get there by boat, train or car, I'm not going.

      @@susiesweet8003 Except the actual stats still show that you are many times more likely to die in a car accident. If a semi suddenly veers into your path along side you there is no preventing the inevitable, and sure those car safety devices will allow you to survive as a vegetable instead of dying.

New cars are designed to protect the head more & the chest second. It doesn't make any sense, any other way. Are there airbags for your legs?? 😘

      This incident is from (50) years ago. A lot of positive change since then in part because of lessons learned during that time.

      Try to leave three weeks. We're still undecided if we should leave our first runway straight, or have it curve 90 degrees at the ends.

    My dad’s college roommate’s grandmother’s best friend’s stepson’s chiropractor’s receptionist’s neighbor’s cousin’s girlfriend’s mother took that same flight a month earlier.
