Was the pilot a female, or an immigrant with poor English language skills, or a trans-sexual?

“Was the pilot a female, or an immigrant with poor English language skills”

This week, on Tubi or similar, Hubby found a string of documentaries about airplane incidents and disasters. They played the audio from the black boxes when it was available.

One was about a pilot whose English was so bad that he was hearing and saying the exact opposite of what was true. I don’t remember how many people died in that crash.

Another reason to avoid flying whenever possible. (And it’s always possible.)

Listened to the audio from VASAviation.

Pilot spoke English with a discernable accent.

But I heard nothing about asking for a longer runway or a go-around.

Or all three
