Better to fall into the South Atlantic because the Airbust didn't inform the pilots that it had stalled. Actually it did, they simply chose to disregard the stall warning that sounded continuously for 54 seconds and the stick shaker. Keith It sounded for 54 seconds, then it stopped a little after 2h 11m 42s when they were at 35,000 feet, 40 degrees pitch and falling at 10,000 feet/minute. See pages 22 & 23. http://www.bea.aero/en/enquetes/flig...t.final.en.php At 2h 12m ~15s the Pilot Flying made a pitch-down input that brought their forward speed above the stall warning's lower limit of 60 Kts and it sounded again, confusing them. Page 44 of the final report: " If the CAS measurements for the three ADR are lower than 60 kt, the angle of attack values of the three ADR are invalid and the stall warning is then inoperative." My real point is to remind Bill Black that he lives in a glass house and shouldn't throw stones at Boeing. jsw |
