Airline Operations Comments on the Asiana 214 Crash
B-777 flight is quite simple. There are three reasons for this accident, all
related to pilot performance:
they ever be capable of performing, a visual approach. Not in their skill set.
They are totally directed in how to do every thing. Free thought is not
allowed. Add the culture – not losing face – and the flight was doomed as soon
as they were cleared for the visual approach.
137 knots, better known as Vref
(V-reference), is 30% above stall speed (1.3 x stall speed) for the existing
gross weight of the aircraft).
Vref speed on final approach. It is a calculated target airspeed which varies
with the gross weight of the aircraft.
or Vs (stall). Stick shaker is 1.07 Vs or in this case 112 Kts. So they slowed
25 knots or 25×1.151=28.7 Mph.
be more than 5 knots below Vref on approach, and then only long enough for an
immediate correction to take effect. An airspeed 25 knots below Vref is
absolutely unimaginable and unacceptable. A pilot who could allow this to occur
is in the wrong occupation.
mechanical device connected to the pilot’s control column which activates a
strong vibration together with a loud machine-gun like noise in the cockpit
when the aircraft is approaching an aerodynamic stall resulting from low
airspeed. It is impossible to ignore. Pilots are trained to react by
habit to the stick shaker by immediately applying maximum engine power and
lowering the nose to reduce “angle of attack”. However, this action results in
a temporary loss of altitude in order to recover airspeed. If there is no
altitude to lose, as in the case of Asiana 214, the pilot has a big problem.)
cockpit voice recorder, you will find that nobody
said a word as the aircraft slowed.
would have caused a loss of face.
guy only had 43 hours in type (in the Boeing 777). Not at all.
same way. (Except the piece of junk Airbus)
time Asian carriers cleared for visual approaches miss the runway,
either too high, or get too low and miss the approach.
and have told the controller “send them out for the ILS (Instrument
Landing System approach) or they are not landing today.”
stick shaker to say something says volumes about the cockpit culture.
doing the exact thing he was doing, I allowed about 5 knots
either side of Vref before correcting. You have to see if the trainee will
correct. Part of the learning curve. I was more tolerant if the airspeed was
too fast (more than 5 knots above Vref) than too slow. If they did not correct
the situation in a timely manner then I did.
It’s your job!!
in that cockpit allowed that aircraft to slow to stick shaker and say nothing
is beyond belief by western culture standards!!!
will dance around this fact, not want to offend anyone. This will also be tragic.
Asian DO NOT get on it!!!
the last couple of years, that pilots being trained today with all the
automation, lack basic flying skills. Both western and foreign.
every day. It is a guarantee, if they are Asian, and you take away the
automation, it will not end well. Never does.
have just as much failure with the new breed of American pilots.
with our FAA reps and they know it too.
worse over time. I would take a train but an airplane
would probably crash into it.
