WSJ: Pilot action may have led to Q400 crash
#31
WOW this is probably one of the worst reports that I have read on this accident, yet... He says in the article the NTSB is still investigating but the headline says:
Flight Data Show Response to Loss of Speed Resulted in Deadly Stall That Downed Plane
Wow.. un-freaking believable. And the whole article was speculation including the nice reference at the end of the 410 Pinnacle crash which has absolutley no similarity to this crash whatsoever. I'm thinking of responding to this moron who wrote this article.

Its what people do. Its just a way of talking it out and maybe, just maybe, coming up with a reason, good or bad. No blame, just talk.
Are we really starting threads about blaming the pilots before the NTSB has finished their jobs?
Lets have a little respect and not go down this road. We sit and talk how the media jumps on every opportunity to blame the pilots and now we are posting this on here?
If you were involved in a crash that killed you and others wouldn't you want your fellow pilots to give you the benefit of waiting until the investigation was done before posting negative speculation?

I agree, if they did get slow, they both may have been looking at a chart discussing something, you just never know...............I Would love to hear an NTSB briefing right now, all the news channels are to consumed with the White trash lady and her 14 kids..............

Im impressed the CA was able to overpower the stick-pusher, everytime i do it in the sim it pulls me outta my seat, i dont think i could over-power it with my feet braced on the panel (but then again, I am weak...)

You could if you were in the real airplane tumbling to the ground.....trust me.

well...................the ADRENALINE that pumps through your body when you are looking at the ground in an airplane can do some AMAZAING things. I am not trying to be funny the human body is an amazing machine and FIGHT or FLIGHT is an amazing chemical reaction in the body

Overpowering the pusher is easy. The problem is that after spending years in a training department, every time I'd watch a pilot try and override the pusher, they invariably went into a series of PIO where they were fighting the pusher (yolk going forward and back) until ground impact. Not knowing the Q I can't specify how its pusher works, but in other planes I've flown that had it, the pusher worked off AOA. The only way to cancel the pusher is to reduce AOA unless you do a pusher override. When the oscillations begin most pilots don't think of pushing forward and reducing AOA especially if they are close to the ground.

Geez are you friggin kidding me, Im refering to how hard it is to survive these days at a regional, while constantly being under a microscope, for boaderline minimum wages, why because we are all serious about what we do, so at least have some respect for the crew. If they made a mistake, we will find out about it, and it is up to all of us to re evaluate how we react to similar situations, in the interest of safety. But for God sakes, at least let the the info come out before speculating about how to correct it. Ill go out on a limb here and say, Im sure that flight crew wasnt trying to crash an airplane... Mabye it was pilot error, and if so you need to realize you, and all of us are capable of making one too, we are human, that is why we have to evaluate the FACTS and learn from them, so have some respect...Lets all learn from this tragedy, AFTER the facts are known..
