Air India plane crash

I hate how often YouTube tries to push this dude’s videos on me. The most egregious one is that Irish pilot guy on there who talks smack about people’s landings. Can’t imagine being sad enough that that’s what I do on my days off.

I crashed out and couldn’t handle it anymore, blocked him about a month ago

Has anyone thought/suggested that the RAT was manually deployed?

If it in fact was, that is my baseline assumption. No evidence apparent in video to suggest some sort of catastrophic engine failure. Not that it didn't happen, but IMO nothing in this adds up to mechanical failure. Everyone talking about massive electrical system failure. I think people are reading too much into "FBW" and "Composites" and "new stuff" and maybe a little "well the 787 had some electrical gremlins in the early years". I could be wrong of course. But I have flown airplanes built by the same company, that have never had a total electrical failure in 28 years of service. Nor have the engines both shut down because of some weird electrical FADEC glitch. We have PMGs for that sh**. I'd assume an airliner certified to fly many more people than one has some redundancy. People are also not engineers, don't understand aircraft design or power distribution systems, and they also happen to want to blame Boeing for everything at the first opportunity. So color me a little skeptical on this one. It also makes me a little hot every time I read an article that begins with "in another set back for Boeing".......oh rly? Based on what, McKayla? Did your BA in communications a year ago qualify you to make that statement? GTFO and go back to quoting your NYC roommates about how home ownership is impossible

Wrap up the investigation! Captain Steve has it concluded!

What a joke the internet is

I hate this. It's all for the likes/shares/subscribes.

You could actually call me an expert since I've been in aviation for almost 40 years and "have done some other stuff" at the Air Line. But I literally have no idea and no opinion on what may have happened. There are too many variables and you really can't judge based on grainy video, ADS data and literally you have to wait until the CVR, the FDR and digesting all the data before you know.

I'm sure Steve is a nice guy but at some point, he's got to turn off the need for traffic and serve aviation by admitting he really hasn't a clue any more than my non-flying, have-been-once-on-an-airplane mother does.

For folks on this forum, isn’t it kinda understood that there’s a parenthetical premise? It’s likely pilot error but if it’s not …

I would assume there’s adequate battery power that would preclude the need to deploy the RAT before achieving positive rate of climb. The RAT deployment might be among a number of puzzling crew actions.

I have a feeling that Boeing is going to escape unscathed from this one, but I’m often wrong when speculating without adequate information.
 
Any chance of 200 ft set in altitude window, takeoff and immediate capture, enter alt hold and speed mode. Climb through 200, going up, confused, hit level change thinking it will give max climb power in climb out. But because selected altitude is below their current altitude (Asiana), engines go to thrust idle, open descent. High AOA, descending, alt acquired at 200, engines start to roar back from idle, but too late. Sink rate already established and ground contact.

Oh FFS just say who it is. Why the mystery

That was intentional, I rarely see anyone using real names here and figured that was standard practice. If youre familiar with these internet talking heads then it’s really not difficult to know who I’m talking about. If you’re saying I won’t get any blowback, then its CW Lemoine and yes he brings Mover on his channel very regularly.

Hey! I resemble that remark. Truth be told most times I eat a light lunch because I don't like feeling sluggish in the afternoon. But there are times when a big lunch is appropriate and we try to do that sort of thing when things aren't busy. I've already introduced some here to the Greek goodness of Firehouse but I may have neglected Springbok. It's mostly a bar. Both are solid lunch or dinner spots if you find yourself at KVNY.

Firehouse is a great stop on a VNY flight!

I broke down and paid for premium, but it's been worth it. All cars, baseball, history, and cooking, and whatever weird thing my wife watches to screw up my algorithm. But by in large it exclusively shows me things I'm interested in.

Yep. Premium is the best purchase I have made in a while.

Premium plus an individual user profile.

My wife and I watch very different content.

Mine is food, VAS Aviation, video games, Japanese/Korean language lessons, music theory, travel, “Pivot” and dark wave music videos.
