  • The experienced crew in charge of XL Airways Germany Flight 888 failed to handle a routine plane stall. Could they have placed too much faith in the plane's computer system?

      It was manual, they just didn't use the trim to recover from stall. Error clearly said - 'use man pitch trim' on top of the attitude indicator which a pilot must have their eyes on. That's how they fly at night, based on the attitude indicator.

      There was a lot off issues with regards to automation on airbus. Manual passover was one “feature” that comes to mind. If a pilot manipulates any of the controls the auto pilot will disengage just that input. So if you rested your feet on the rudder inadequately the autopilot disconnects without a bell or warning. Aeroflot 593 is a good example of what could go wrong.. well that and putting your teenage son in the pilots seat

    • @Tank50us
      @Tank50us 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The designers were thinking that when an alarm sounds, the pilot will start looking at their instruments to figure out what the warning is. What they didn't take into account is two things: 1. during certain instances, the text becomes unreadable (IE, when the aircraft is shaking), and 2. pilots can become tunnel visioned on certain issues (in this case the stall), and won't check to see what is going wrong with their plane.
      What's been found since then, is that certain warnings should have a verbal warning as well that's both authoritative, and clear. While this wasn't that unusual (Terrain Terrain, PULL UP! has been used for decades), other warnings have since become verbal in both military and civil aviation. "Check gear! Check gear!", "Flaps! Slats!" and so on are all now in use for this purpose.

      If you, as a pilot, are going to perform stall tactics, I would do it at a higher altitude, so that you, as a pilot, would have more time to recover. If this pilot is a test pilot, he should have known that perhaps the pitot tubes were blocked and giving out false signals.

    Ok here’s the problem: when you add full power in a jet with underwing engines, the nose pitches up. In order to recover from the initial stall, the pilot should have pushed forward on the stick without adding power.

    • @calvinnickel9995

      Uh.. this is every aircraft ever because of the thrust-drag couple
      Even on an airplane with a high mounted engine like the Lake Buccaneer that has it on a pylon as high as the tail.
      Adding power is a part of every stall recovery. It just didn’t work because the stabilizer was trimmed aft. It was essentially the opposite of MCAS.

    • @Busdriver321
      @Busdriver321 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@calvinnickel9995 The stall recovery techniques for large transport category aircraft are not the same as small piston engine aircraft. The angle of attack must be reduced first, and then power is added gradually to increase airspeed during level off. In some cases you may even have to reduce power to prevent an overspeed during the recovery and then add power.

With a Boeing this issue won't happen however a lot of skill is needed to fly that plane. only for this scenario is where you could possibly say Boeing is better than Airbus imo

      Every pilot (ok me and those guys who flew with my FI as well) is trained to use the trim if input via stick doesn't work.
      BUT you have to react very fast if you stall in 3000 feet. That's why you don't stall in that low altitude with such a heavy plane. So the pilot error happened before: stall in low altitude.
