Another possible contributor: The well documented cultural factor. I'll bet dollars to donuts this was a senior captain at the controls and the first officer(s) never said a word. Out of "respect", they remained silent and the poor guy was essentially single pilot.

Somebody needs to call the media and tell them to add bird ingestion into the engines at low altitude over the bay to their probable causes.

Yes, the final accident report may not be issued for up to a year. The preliminary findings however, I'm guessing will be pretty quick here. And, no, 10,000 hrs is nothing for 777 pilots. Relatively speaking, between 3 pilots? No. I've got over 8000 just on the 757.
For all we know of the 3 one had 20,000, another 15,000 and 10,000. Fact is it was an experienced enough crew. |

I can see the scenario now for your next LOFT. Your going to be required by the FAA to demonstrate a visual approach with an inop glide slope, no PAPI, and no vertical NAV .The procedure will be in the QRH. You will hold to burn off fuel and allow time for the cabin crew to prepare for a precautionary landing. You will be expected to coordinate with dispatch, maintenance, ATC, CFR, Chief Pilot, Base Manager, and anyone else that can provide assistance. Be prepared to attend an Event Review with all concerned.
Are there any 777 drivers here who can tell us about the auto thrust system on that aircraft? On a visual, would there be a use for an open descent mode with thrust idle, which would require a glide slope intercept (or altitude intercept, or V/S mode) to go to speed on thrust mode? |
For you triple 7 drivers out there. Are the laws for Boeing similar to the laws on Airbus? (I.e. Stall protection)

I had gotten the impression they were calling for the equipment from the airplane on the ground post-crash. But, I could be wrong.
