Computers don’t kill people. They only do what you tell them to do.
Uh...let’s see....what ever on earth happened to the air speed indicator? Oh! I guess senior captains don’t look at those anymore during flight.
I have a better idea. Teach them how to fly a airplane manually.
This pilot can’t fly a plane but Lee sure Kang Kuk!
Actually, not. There was an American pilot that trained airline pilots in the east. He said that there were many other problems that were from their cultural background — like never questioning anyone higher in command. They also did not like to get their “hands dirty” by flying it themselves rather than letting the autopilot do it.
The Asians are blaming this on Boeing throttle controls?? I guess being too slow according to the airspeed indicator was to much for those pinheads. Maybe we should ban Asians from flying in our airspace.
Capt. We Tu Lo....
AHA!!!! Bill Gates will be named in all lawsuits..
It all goes back to basics.
Not enough forward speed to create lift.
You crash.................
Isn’t being able to fly by looking out the window and reading the instruments the most basic of all for pilots?
What fools don’t train the people to fly very expensive aircraft with hundreds of people on board to fly manually?
Yeah right, it’s the plane’s fault. If you can’t fly, buy an Airbus.
How much simulator time did he get?
Nice try on blaming Boeing, MSM science dork.
The bottom line is those pilots were essentially electronic game players and didn’t know what piloting a real airplane (e.g., using manual controls) was like.
They shouldn’t have been in control of a Cessna 150 (which they undoubtedly would have crashed even sooner than the airliner).
And - that automated little paradigm did in that Airbus flying in a t-storm over the Atlantic. Pilots really didn’t understand when the computer was flying or when they were flying. They also didn’t fully understand what “stall” meant.
Then what the heck is the deal with the leak?
Non-story, unless readers have their easy chairs in the upright position & flaps set for takeoff on the armchair-quarterbacker-flight-investigation circus of the Asiana crash...
The auto-pilot was turned off and nobody throttled up the engines to maintain angle of decent...
gross human error.
“believed the auto-throttle should have come out of the idle position to prevent the airplane going below the minimum speed” for landing, the NTSB said in a summary of an interview with him.”
I’m not a pilot but that sounds like a design error to me. Shouldnt there be a system that doesnt allow the plane to fly too slow for landing? If so why would you make it so that it could be accidentally turned off?
Years ago the airlines began recruiting from the ranks of computer game players instead of trained pilots as from the military.
They may be skilled in understanding those computer screens but they probably lack an understanding of the aero-dynamics behind them.
Most asian pilots don’t know how to manually fly a plane.
