The accident itself is still a mystery to me. I only saw the first half of the show, but that part made it look like the crew made some very fundamental errors; not maintaining airspeed, and a very strange response to the stall. Has there been any other analysis (made public) that explains the captain pulling back on the stick during the stall? During the last hearing held by the NTSB, that agency made it clear that pilot incompetence and lack of experience were the probable causes of the accident. The pilots made multiple serious mistakes that accumulated until a crash occurred. They failed to maintain a sterile cockpit, they reacted improperly to the problems they experienced again and again, etc. A competent flight deck crew would have easily avoided the crash, and could have dealt with the problems successfully even if they were somehow allowed to occur. Overall the NTSB was very hard on the pilots. The aircraft was fine, and weather does not appear to have been a factor. If you watch the NTSB animation you can see many mistakes being made, even if you're not familiar with the specific aircraft in question. |
