Crash During Landing, Airlines Flight 5401, Avions de Transport Regional 72-212, N438AT

Presented at the Board meeting September 7, 2005 in Washington, D.C.
This three dimensional animated reconstruction shows the flight of Executive Airlines DBA American Eagle ATR-72 hard landing accident at the Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico on May 9, 2004. The following accident reconstruction displays information from the flight data recorder, cockpit voice recorder, recorded radar data, and aircraft performance data. This reconstruction does not depict damage to the aircraft, weather or visibility conditions at the time of the accident.
The animation shows a three-dimensional model of the airplane and its motion. Selected comments from the Cockpit Voice Recorder transcript are superimposed as text at the time they occurred. The local time of day (based on the FAA's Air Traffic Control radar data), aircraft altitude in feet, and aircraft speed in knots are depicted as text.

"The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of
this accident was the captain’s failure to execute proper techniques to recover from the
bounced landings and his subsequent failure to execute a go-around"

[@CaptainXanax]

The captain was like "This bounce will not go unpunished!"

[@googaagoogaa12345678]

great fedex style landing (ahem) how the hell does it go from a routine landing with proper touchdown to this in less than a minute wow

[@gerardmoran9560]

Go-around! Set up for another approach and maintain Vapp.

[@Turner9090]

Should have gone around when control was given to the captain

[@DrWhom]

when you take over you don't really know how bad it is...

[@YlmazDALKIRANscallion]

- My aircraft.
- Your aircraft.
These professional pilots...

[@FlyingDreaming]

Just curious, why this particular part caught your attention? Sorry for stupid question..

[@YlmazDALKIRANscallion]

@@FlyingDreaming Because there is no teamwork in cockpit.

[@FlyingDreaming]

@@YlmazDALKIRANscallion Apologies, I did not articulate my question properly. What exactly is wrong with "my aircarft - your aircraft"? I am missing how this particular item shows lack of teamwork..

[@YlmazDALKIRANscallion]

@@FlyingDreaming Because the aircraft doesn't belong to them. There is an ego problem in the cockpit.

[@FlyingDreaming]

@@YlmazDALKIRANscallion Oh I see. Thank you. I would suggest to you that captain meant "I have control" with first officer acknowledging "You have control". This is 'Positive transfer of aircraft control' occurrence, which is an element of crew resource management.

[@4406bbldb]

I flew alittle and just don't understand some of these failures. Tragedy.

[@rfi-cryptolab4251]

I would have been on the go exactly at the 40 second mark.

[@gaguy1967]

I think youre going too slow at that point and youre in the air...youre coming down no matter what

[@DrWhom]

@@gaguy1967 yeah an unstablised takeoff is risky as well, there is a 50/50 point where both are equally risky

[@HiddenWindshield]

@@DrWhom There's no such thing as an "unstabilised takeoff". Going around would have been *by far* the safer option at any point before the wing actually touched the ground. The only possible excuse for not doing so is that they just happened to have a dual engine failure or some other major control issue.

Okay try making moving traffic to the side instead of sand

[@WarblesOnALot]

G'day,
Bumps-A-Daisy..., not so much a Landing, as an Arrival ; in that following an actual Landing the Flying-Machine remains servicable, and fit for further use...
This performance appeared about to Cartwheel, and rip a Wing off, but that's merely a matter of A Pinion...
;-p
Ciao !
