    Absolutely this, the pitot failure did contribute to events but after the initial moments it was all human fault - the plane was unequivocally telling them what was going wrong but the second officer was doing the exact wrong thing. Was painful reading the transcript of the moment the second officer tells the others he's been holding full back stick for several minutes and they realise what's up, too late. www.popularmechanics.com/flight/a3115/what-really-happened-aboard-air-france-447-6611877/ is a good read for anyone interested, as it also will explain some of the terms used, controls etc so it makes more sense to a non-aviation reader.

Taken to extremes if the A330 was completely autonomous it crashes from the relatively innocuous failure of reliable airspeed input - highlighting the need for human input If the A330 is fully "manual" sidestick nuances aside they still crash from the raw pilot inputs - an avoidable crash of a fully functional aircraft If the protection systems had been fully available they don't enter the stall to begin with, if the crew recognizes the stall they had an eternity to safely recover. While the inherent limitations of Airbus' design did not allow intervention to _prevent_ the crash holding them as factors in _causing_ the crash is what's disingenuous there is a subtle but distinct difference.

    Good discussion boys, as a grounded aviation fanboy, that was a terrific little read. I (as a non pilot) like all that Airbus has brought to the community, and keeping the other guys on their toes...but I just like Boeing better, almost plane for plane. I do like the OG 300, the big hunkin 4 bagger A340, and who doesn't just love an A350 or at the very least respect the mighty A380? As for team USA, I was never a 737 fan until the NGs, when they finally stopped looking like pregnant guppies, and after the guys at Parker Hannefin were making faulty rudder Power Control Unit Servos. Three or four full on catastrophies is 2 or 3 too many for this little hobby of flying busses, it might actually catch on one day, and we need to have these rules in place and start hiring drivers. All kidding aside...probably, those old Boeing engineers though, sweet Jesus those guys were good, a straight up masterclass in mechanical engineering is putting it lightly. Joey Sutter and his jumbo queen, the sleek and sexy 757, the mindblowing 777x program withe Ge9x twisters. Yeah, I'm an Everett dude a little more than a Toulouse bloke. Gotta say I'm a little nervous and disappointed by the east coast facility down in Asheville, North Carolina...if you haven't already, watch the Broken Dreams documentary with some of the workers and whistleblowers on the 787 line down there. Its not a veteran team like Seattle, and they are definitely doing some questionable stuff. A little scary when one of them little lemons (parts) decides to get jiggy (fail) and make lemonade (turn fine folks like yourselves inside out). Not very fair when you're runnin for pinks just to make sure the precious shareholders get their Q3 bonuses...gimme a fucking break. Anyway...if you're still on board, cheers. Fair weather and soft landings fellas, keep the shiny side up and rubber side down (unless you steal a Q400 Dash 8, you can fly the wheels off one of them...and you don't even have to be a pilot!! Or so I've heard) 🤪 + ✈ = 🔥

    The main degradation areas in cars are things like bearings or bushings wearing out (if they're not greased or lubricated periodically,) engine cylinders shouldn't wear out that much as they have oil to keep them lubricated. Rust is also an issue on the underside of a car as that gets a lot of spray and salt thrown at it. Work hardening is a big issue - lead for example work hardens really quickly, you can bend it backwards and forwards a few times, but micro-cracks start appearing until it snaps completely. In regards to planes, the skin of an aircraft expands and compresses whilst going through different pressures in the atmostphere, causing it to stretch and retract - I suppose work hardening and cracks can appear then. The same with the wing structures - they constantly flex moving up and down. Airbus has a video of them testing the A380 wing - it shows you how they move. Repairing machines that have worn out is actually quite easy (still a long job though in some cases). For example, I use CNC machines for a living and the ball screws and guide rails had to be replaced because of wear - these are bolt on items. But things like bearings and bushes can be generally pressed out with a hydraulic press and new ones pressed in. They are normally made to a set tolerance so can be changed easily even after 30 years as the standards don't change much.

    With regard to airplanes, it's mostly metal fatigue. Every time a plane takes off, and every time it lands, the difference in air pressure between the outside and inside of the fuselage changes dramatically, and if you apply these forces on a piece of aluminium thousands of times, it will eventually break. That's why the manufacturer-recommended maximum lifetime of airplanes is typically given in pressurisation cycles, not in years.

If the plane gets hit by a missile, it would most likely or lose its engine, which would make the plane lose thrust, increasing the drag, losing speed and because of that it would not produce any lift, making it enter in a stall and eventually hit the ground or it would literally explode mid-air or lose a whole wing or tail controls or something important that keeps the plane flying. In any military planes it would be understandable and because of that they have flares and that kind of stuff, but comercial planes aren't supposed to be a target for a missile, so it's obvious that they don't think about anything to avoid one.

    The only data missing was the air speed. They had the altitude, they had the articifial horizon, and most importantly the "STALL" alarm kept going on and on. When the autopilot went off because of the loss of the airspeed, they climbed for no reason, they climbed so much that they stalled, and they couldn't even do the basic maneuver to get out of the stall. They understodd what was happening only seconds before impact. So yeah even after the loss of airspeed data the crash didn't have to happen. Pilot are supposed to be able to fly without the autopilot or instruments.

    A small correcttion: the microburst was well known before Delta 191. The pilot flying at the time was the first officer, and the captain was actually talking him through how to deal with the microburst. What was lacking was timely detection methods, and this microburst was stronger than even the captain was expecting.

    I understand why you decided to leave out the detail for simplicity sake, but as a pilot student taking ground school, it's a useful detail, for some, to note that the way an analogue ASI (Airspeed Indicator) works is by comparing the pitot ram pressure (pitot tube pressure) to a pitot static source. This pitot static source simply measures the outside air pressure regardless of speed. This is used in barometric altimeters and vertical speed indicators. If the pressure isn't corrected for outside air, the ASI would show a lower airspeed than what is actually happening and would thus lead to countless more deaths. I feel the need to say that I love what you do and I appreciate the effort you put into your videos. Thank you for your time. - Zach Taylor, Glider Pilot and currently training for Private Power Pilot Licence.

    Being an airline pilot, it is amazing to see how much aviation has changed. Passenger travel is extremely safe. In no small part due to the rules that have been written in blood as we say. The recent changes to fatigue rules is a huge factor. Sadly, cargo ops is still incredibly dangerous. UPS, for example, still pushes the small light aircraft that feed smaller towns to always takeoff and try to get through weather even if it looks impossible. Yes, in 2019. I hate to say it, but the value of a pilot's life is only as high as the cargo he or she is carrying.

    The computerization of aircraft is main reason why, the glass cockpit improved situational awareness and aircraft redundant systems. It started in the 90's with the 757, 767, MD-88, MD-11, A300. Systems today monitor aircraft systems and report to maintenance, so by the time the plane is at destination it's serviced.

    As simulators have gotten more realistic, pilots can be exposed to more "tough" malfunctions and gain their experience in handling them without flying an actual airplane. The one drawback of having so many high tech systems could be slacking off on pilot training, especially to handle situations where the tech fails. Of course, it fails much less often, but that leads to less frequent cross checking if pilots get lazy, because the failures are so rare. The tech is good enough that a reasonably intelligent and science-savvy non-pilot can USUALLY use it to land safely with the help of controllers on the radio (as an emergency measure, of course). This situation was tested in a simulator by the cast of the old Mythbusters show; neither Adam nor Jamie had any flying experience before filming this episode, both of them "crashed" badly in the control runs without help, but both "landed" safely with the simulator operator acting as a radio contact. And of course, such emergency landings HAVE happened in real life. But again, if the technology fails, you NEED a pilot with experience in old school flying to land safely.

    When you study aircraft accidents as I do, you come to the conclusion that the machines today are much safer and more reliable. Coupled with the systems that won't let pilot make mistakes as easy like they once could and aircraft that monitor themselves and report. Look at the accident rates over the years, there are almost no major ones anymore, and the occasional is gross pilot error. With 2500 fatalities a yr in the 70's to 50 in 2015 that's progress.

    Concerning AF447, I'd like to add something. Airbus and several airlines were aware of the pitot tubes being sensible in icing conditions before the crash occured. The situation the Air France crew had to face already happened in the past; but that was only in day conditions, where the pilots could have a situation awareness only by looking outside. However, no action was taken by Air France or any other company to replace those pitot tubes, that being one cause of the accident. The other causes were, according to me and several pilots, the bad engineering of the Airbus flight control systems. If the right stick moves cause of pilot action, the left one doesn't. That led the two pilots of AF 447 to do different actions at the same time that each other could'nt see. I think the system Boeing uses is better on that side. But, something fundamental: the way the A330 was flying before the pitot tubes were filled with ice, was optimised for the flight plan they had that day. If Bonin would have kept the aircraft at that angle of attack and that same speed, the crew would have had the time to figure out what happened and find a suitable situation. That is also why I think it is not only a pilot error, but all these facts combined that led to the crash. Of course, the aviation industry learnt from it, but it could have been easily avoided. Thank you very much for the video and sorry if my english wasn't quite understandable (being french doesn't help haha) Could you do another video talking about the physics of an airplane doing soft and hard aerobatics?

    These days pilots seldomly use ADF any stations that break are taken offline and never return to service. The FAA is gradually changing to all GPS way points and VOR's. VOR's are still more code idenifited with a 3 letter code that tells you if you are tuned into the right station and the VOR also has a to/from flag that lets you know if you are flying towards or away from the station. There is nothing to be afraid of these days when flying we pilots spend an extensive amount of time training for GPS/ Nav equipment failures . Pilots also have a nav log so in the event of total instrument failure we can still navigate based on time and heading calculations. once again your pilot is trained very well and these navigation errors are a thing of the past. There is nothing that you should worry about on your next flight, and remember airplanes are always in contact with ATC unless they are flying VFR (airlines don't do this) even in the rare case if radio failure pilots are trained to deal with the situation and you as a passenger wont even know that anything is wrong. also the air France was pilot error no pilot should ever pull up and pull engines to idle when there is a loss of speed data you keep flying until the ice melts off the pitot tube .

    Problem with the Air France case is that they didn’t recognize the stall. If I recall, the faulty ASI was at times indicating an increase in airspeed (possibly from climbing while the pitot tube was blocked?). It’s easy to say what the crew SHOULD have done, but that is assuming they recognized what sort of failure was occurring, which they did not. So the real emphasis of that accident should be: why did they fail to recognize what was occurring?

    ADFs can work with VOR and TACAN. Also, the pilots of AF447 failed to recognize the situation because they did not understand what the plane defaulted to when the autopilot and auto-throttle disengaged. The PF took immediate control of the attitude of the plane, but for a long period of time assumed that the auto-throttle was working, and that envelope protection was functional, when that was very clearly not the case because of the FBW reverting to alternate law. The aircraft even enunciated the control law change, so the pilots failing to know what that implicated just shows a poor understanding of the underlying systems perhaps as a result of negligent contingency training and testing. Regardless of the lack of envelope protection, the PF still willingly flew the aircraft into an unsustainable attitude and maintained that attitude, which is a very basic lack of pilotage. Just because the plane is supposed to keep you from exceeding the envelope doesn't mean you shouldn't at least know what the envelope is.

    AFAIR, another factor in the loss of Air France 447 was "mode confusion". Modern airliners have different modes, in which the aircraft reacts differently to control inputs. Once the 447 pilots received indication that they were losing altitude, they pulled the stick, which would have been a safe reaction if the control mode would still have been full auto, which would have then automatically put the plane in a climbing attitude. However, they did not recognize or react to the fact that the AP had shut off due to inconsistent/impossible speed information from the blocked Pitot tube. Thus, the plane was in manual mode, "allowing" them to stall the plane by pulling the stick, and they did not correct that mistake until hitting the ocean. "Mode confusion" has played a role in other accidents, too. For example, a cargo ship crashed into the lock gate of the German Kiel Canal a few years ago, severly damaging it. The speed/rudder control had different modes, and in the selected one, ahead and stern were reversed. The recent collision of a US Navy destroyer with a Cargo ship was reported to have had a similar cause, were speed and rudder controls could be distributed between different stations manned by different people, and they were not fully aware who was controlling what. It is a question of User Interface design. Simply speaking, "modes are evil". Critical control inputs should ideally do the same thing at all times. Sometimes that is hard to achieve, but once you get more than two different modes, you are asking for trouble. Even if you think you are indicating the mode in a way that can not be overlooked, that is always relative, in particular with a user under the stress of an emergency.

    Actually airplanes measure speed with a pitot tube and also a static air pressure port on the side of the fuselage and the data is compared to get a more accurate speed indication. This is true with all airplanes even small personal airplanes. On large aircraft such as a Boeing 737 there is usually more than one pitot-static system. Also most aircraft nowadays are equipped with a gps that provides speed data that is sometimes even more accurate than a pitot system but is still not a substitute for a pitot-static system because a gps measures ground speed and not airspeed . Again, a gps does not measure airspeed, it measures ground speed and the two can be very different but my point is, you have many tools at your disposal including a backup pitot- static in a lot of cases system that should help you prevent a crash I am not trying to be rude by correcting you I just thought you might appreciate the correction. By the way I really like your channel.

    You're correct about the pitot tubes, although I think the main thrust of the video is fine without that distinction. However, GPS measures ground speed, not airspeed. It's useless for actual stick and rudder flying, especially at high altitude where the margin between stall and overspeed might only be 15 knots.

    Many people say pilot error is the leading cause of crashes. Well this is absolutely true, it fails to take into account how many crashes have been prevented because the pilot did the right thing. Yes increasing automation has reduced the amount of crashes due to pilot error, it also decreases the chance the pilot will do something unusual to save a plane. Automating the pilot out of the picture is NOT a good solution, which is probably one of the reasons we don’t have autopilots that can land a plane yet. Edit: Hmm I’m learning about autoland, which can almost fully land a plane.
