The crash of Copa Airlines Flight 201, left investigators mystified. It was difficult to unpack how a passenger plane simply dissapeared and investigators investigated numerous possibilities, always seeming to come up short of a solid explanation. Data from the plane’s black box continued to puzzle investigators further, the flight recorder plotted data that would seem to indicate the plane performing an impossible maneuver shortly before it crashed. Lets delve deeper into that mystery today as we look at the events of Copa Airlines Flight 201.

    CORRECTION NOTICE: It appears I made a rather annoying mistake with the date of this accident. At 1:06 is mentioned that the year of this accident was 1996, it was actually 1992. I'm not sure how I completely messed that up. My apologies Update: the two seconds or so of that info has been trimmed out.

So I mean I guess I'm super sensitive to it which is just from anxiety, but when I hear about stories in which airplane is diving towards the ground but the pilots feel like they're flying level, I just don't get it!

    But you can't tell which way it's going, Pilots were being told the plane was rolling left, which would feel indistinguishable from the plane rolling right which is what was actually happening. pilots are trained to ignore these forces as they are highly misleading for example pitching up/down feels identical to acceleration/deceleration. Reacting to these ambiguous forces has caused many plane crashes. Also, I guarantee you that there are some attitude changes you did not feel as they were too smooth. If the pilot handling is a bit rough you'll feel it but if it's nice and gentle you can look out the window and be surprised to see the ground as the aircraft is banked over 30 degrees and felt nothing.

    Interestingly, a British documentary filmed the whole process of the investigation for a documentary on how plane crashes are investigated. It was this specific filming that helped them find the wire was the cause, when the investigators asked to review the film the cameraman had taken. One of the investigators noticed the loose wire and when they followed it up they realised this was the cause! Frustratingly, I can't find it on the web now, but I managed to a couple of years ago. I remember thinking how vulnerable the planes I travelled on might be, every time I flew, if a loose wire could cause that crash!

    Contra the suggestion in the video, you cannot use a spirit level (or a plumb line or whatever) as a backup to the artificial horizon. In a coordinated turn (which all pilots are trained for), the net acceleration is straight through the bottom of the airplane regardless of the attitude of the airplane. And it's that net acceleration that a level would show. A gyroscope is used because it maintains its attitude to the ground regardless of any acceleration experienced by the airplane, which is what you have to have for an artificial horizon.

    @@maxfullerton5228 Same thing. When the acceleration vector goes straight through the bottom of the plane ("down" for people sitting in the plane), it doesn't matter which way the ground is. Water will stay in glasses, pendulums will not swing (any more than they otherwise would), and people will be able to walk in the aisles. If you have ever taken a small bucket full of water and swung it in a circle about you, you'll have noticed that the water doesn't spill out, even if you swing it up and over your head. Conversely, if your acceleration vector goes some other direction, for instance in a car on a curve, all those things mentioned above will take the new net acceleration vector as "down". So water will spill out of cups if you turn too sharply in a car. This effect can also be seen in NASA's "Vomit Comet", where they put the plane into a ballistic curve to get a net acceleration of 0, otherwise known as weightlessness. In that situation, water will float around the cabin (in blobs, because of surface tension) even when the ground is still below the bottom of the plane.

    Absolutely - See the video of test pilot Bob Hoover, flying a barrel roll one handed, while pouring a jug of iced tea into a glass with his other hand. A spirit level would obviously remain level throughout the entire barrel roll! Thus, a spirit level is utterly useless as a horizon reference. (As, like the tea in his glass, the spirit level would remain centred throughout the barrel roll, even at 90° bank or fully inverted). The narrator may be thinking of the turn & slip indicator used in some non-instument aircraft. That uses a gyro in a spring loaded, single axis gimble to indicate the rate of turn in the yaw axis and a spirit level to indicate turn coordination (slipping sideways in the turn). The spirit level is in no way a horizon reference, except when the aircraft is stationary on the ground! I believe some people say they can fly in IMC with a turn & slip indicator, altimeter, & airspeed indicator. I'm not sure if that's really possible but in any case they are not using the spirit level as a horizon reference.

    A spirit level would not indicate where the horizon is. There is one, or something similar, in most planes. It is used to gauge the balance of forces in a turn. When the bubble (or ball) is in the center, the forces are balanced, no matter the orientation of the plane, (in positive g's). The plane could be up-side down in a spiral, or some other such circumstance.

My theory is that because the pilots believed that the Captain's ADI was on an Auxiliary Gyro then what they were seeing on their ADIs was correct and the standby ADI was inoperative. Without the CVR we'll never know.

    This hits close to home because I flew that type airplane and flew in and out of Panama many times. It looks to me that the inversion happened so fast that they didn’t have time to focus on the standby artificial horizon. It is unfortunate that they flipped that switch in the wrong direction. It emphasizes the importance of checklists and not to get in a rush. I always said nothing happens in an emergency situation in the 737 so fast except for a fire that the crew doesn’t have plenty of time to deal with the emergency.

    I was thinking, how can you not feel what the plane is doing. I have only flown a plane once and that was assisted by an instructor. It was a very little plane. But I could feel all the little twitches, wiggles and especially the banking turns. It was daylight so I could always back what I felt with what I could see. Loosing spacial orientation can happen. Unless I am the pilot, which is highly unlikely I won't be flying if there is a choice.

They've got Central America pretty locked down, although my flight from Atlanta Georgia to Guatemala La Aurora is a Delta 757-200 every time.

    Spatial disorientation and centrifugal force. As for the liquid device, it simply doesn’t work. Such a device could not distinguish between straight and level flight and an upside down 1g dive. Also turbulence is a thing. Edit: Those devices works by effect of gravity. On aircraft, it will only work if it is going at constant velocity and altitude. Any changes in these two factors will result in malfunctioning of level bubble. Therefore they are useless, because it is impossible to have 100% steady attitude and velocity.
