    Yeap, the unfortunate Polish crash last year which killed many officials and including the President of the country, was confirmed due to pilot error resulting from inexperience of all three cockpit members , extreme pshychological pressure in the cockpit (presence of the head of polish air force in the cockpit), failure to read out all the messages from the plane's systems, understand, respond and react in timely manner, only when it was too late. They should have never landed in that airport since weather was below minima. The human load, both in the cockpit and the cabin put an enormous pressure on them and overrode basic procedures and professionalism. Too sad.

    Final report:

  3. The Russians completely avoided the fact that there also was pressure in the ATC. "Should we let them?"
    "Yes, they say, let's let them land for now".

    There was huge pressure in the cockpit, it shows in the above report. But the pilots should have overwritten that, it's a matter of safety. Plus there's a sterile cockpit worldwide rule under which nobody is to enter the cockpit, no matter who they are, no matter what, in every state of flight which is very strict and there for a reason, obviously. They overrode that too.

  5. I wouldn't be surprised if every celebrity on a plane gets to visit the cockpit on a flight they are on if they ask.

  9. I take it that it's the handbrake turn the pilot executes at the end of the runway that's the problem?

    Another spectacular video camemtoda

    Damn those pilots are good ! It says they lifted the plane toda with air cushions and managed to pull the gear down, rolled it to the hangar for damage inspection and found it to be surprisingly good !

    Also the final report on that yak plane crash into the lake with the sports team came up...pretty horrible. I know it's a fad to joke about all russian pilots being drunk but this is a very serious error they did here which caused the lives of so many people...


    The Russian Interstate Accident Investigation Commission (MAK) have released their final report in Russian (Attachments) concluding the probable causes of the crash were:

    erroneous actions by the crew, especially by applying brake pedal pressure just before rotation as result of a wrong foot position on the pedal during the takeoff run. This led to braking forces on the main gear requiring additional time for acceleration, a nose down moment preventing the crew to establish a proper rotation and preventing the aircraft to reach a proper pitch angle for becoming airborne, overrun of the runway at high speed with the elevator fully deflected for nose up rotation (producing more than double the elevator forces required to achieve normal takeoff rotation). The aircraft finally achieved a high rate of nose up rotation, became airborne 450 meters past the runway end and rotated up to a supercritical angle of attack still at a large rate of pitch up causing the aircraft to stall at low altitude, to impact obstacles and ground, break up and catch fire killing all but one occupants.

    Had the crew rejected takeoff even above V1, with about 1000 meters of runway remaining available after the failed first attempt to rotate the aircraft, an accident would have been averted.

    Forensic examination revealed the presence of a psychoactive drug (phenobarbital) in the first officer's body causing an inhibiting effect on the central nervous system. Performing duties as a crew member under the influence of this drug is prohibited by Russian Law.


    On the story: Crash: Yak Service YK42 at Yaroslavl on Sep 7th 2011, failed to climb on takeoff

    Holy crap how do companies like that still exist in 2011 ?


    - The first officer was unfit to fly due to influence of medicine (Phenobarbital). The drug had an inhibiting effect on the central nervous system

    - The first officer did not conduct a number of important procedures and computation in preparation for takeoff

    - The captain, conducting a balanced takeoff, took the incompetent decision to begin the takeoff roll not from the beginning of the runway

    - No crew activity could be heard/observed during the takeoff run

    - During the takeoff run, just prior to begin rotation, an incorrect leg position produced brake pedal pressure causing a retarding moment on the main landing wheels and a nose down moment counteracting rotation preventing rotation at Vr.

    - During the takeoff run the crew fell back into the habit of operating a Yak-40 rather than a Yak-42 (most important difference: the position and feel of brake pedals)

    There is NOTHING like being at sea, pure awesomeness.

    As for that ship I've just heard on Channel 4 News that the Captain has been arrested and has been charged with multiple manslaughter.

    Do you really hate ships? uhm Ships are magnificent, aesthetically and technically. Ships, like planes, share a similar romanticism about them. (They can also be creepy as fuck when they've sunk… in a fascinating sort of way.)

    That said, I'm not a fan of traveling by ship. I get sea sick quite easily.

    I don't suffer at all, we got hit by a force 10 on the ferry to Bilbao and going out on deck in that ( while holding VERY tightly to the rail ) was MAGNIFICENT and awesomely scary too, life invigorating stuff for sure. The whole ship stank of puke in the morning though.

    Planes come nowhere near the romantism of travelling by boat or train.

    Perhaps, though planes have a great deal of romanticism in their own right, particularly older style planes. Though of course like with anything, not all planes are quite as romantic as others, just like some boats aren't.
