The details of course matter; but the overarching principle put on stark display here is that if you don’t meet stabilized approach criteria (on-speed, on-glidepath, minimal necessary flight control deflections) at the 1000 ft AGL gate, go around. Yes grey areas exist but this approach never became stabilized. The whole approach was a missed opportunity to go around.
I am a pilot; and although I don’t fly large transport category aircraft, this sort of procedural discipline makes all the difference no matter what you fly.
- detourdog 6d agoIf there are factors that need to be met it seems like a red indicator light should trigger a go around.
- stouset 5d agoThere were quite literally multiple warning alarms that went off that should have automatically triggered this exact response.
- detourdog 5d agoThen it’s a real mystery how this could happen. Will the subordinate pilot be consider culpable?
- stouset 5d agoIt really is. That's why anyone with an aviation background is absolutely stunned that it happened. So, so, so, so, so many opportunities to avoid this accident were actively ignored and/or bypassed. I said it elsewhere but these guys single-handedly punched their way through the entire Swiss-cheese model of safety. Given the level of negligence on display here I would not be remotely surprised if charges were filed against both pilots.
