If I've understood reports correctly, the crew chose to fly through a storm cell rather than divert around it, (as other aircraft on the same route did that night). They should've been aware of a...

A common failure that I've seen with accidents is that the crew allows the aircraft to be taken towards extreme limits and they don't act immediately to take control as they do during approach an...

Dean above, I disagree with you, it was pilot error just like the Boeing 757 that crashed off Peru. There was a dynamic air failure and all dynamic air readings had to be ignored. The pilots shou...

The Captain went for a break as the aircraft approached a storm and left 2 co pilots in charge. All pilots showed a severe lack of basic knowledge of flying and didn't seem to know what the 3 Art...

Humans are prone to make mistakes and computers are prone to failures. the coordination or to say the trust between pilots and computers are not always close. What could be the possible future fo...

I am an engineer working in human factors - operations research - systems analysis. An analysis of the crash using techniques from those disciplines would find that although all three pilots made...
