True but les, im sitting twotwo and a half feet from you and i can feel the eye roll coming on. youre not buying this at all. >> its not that im not buying it at all, its just is it possible is it plausible? certainly it is but what i know -- remember im a pilot. i operate the systems. i didnt design the systems. however, what my understanding of the systems is you cant mix entertainment and interface it with flight controls and engines, okay. he claims he did some sort of control input to the a...

>> absolutely. that should record control surface, control input. control surface movement. numerous parameters. yes, i would say that that would be, that data would be there. >> and, you know, again, theres a lot we dont know about this co-pilot, exactly what the illness he was facing is, that he was trying to hide. if a pilot is intent on hiding something, on hiding thoughts theyre having or hiding an illness, if they dont self-disclose, if theyre not getting treatment, if they dont want their...

Its a mental blockage. they dare not go to the idea that this isnt real. >> ron, its interesting. is it possible once the flight data recorder is found, i mean if this co-pilot in the last seconds attempted to pull the plane back to pull the plane up would that record in the flight data recorder? >> absolutely. that should record control surface, control input. control surface movement. numerous parameters. yes, i would say that that would be, that data would be there. >> and, you know, again, t...

That could override the pilots actual intent. what is your assessment of what could have happened base on the information we have? >> fly by wires, essentially what that means is the pilot puts in control input and those dont go directly to the control surfaces. rather they go to a computer which decides she put in this much input this is how im going flight controls. this aircraft limits what you can do because its a system that limits allowing you to pull too many gs or fly too high, for examp...

It. thats a clue that others had made it through just fine. but with this kind of storm build-up it can change very, very quickically. and also planes just a few miles apart with experience vastly different conditions. and it also depends on the input the pilots put on the controls. on the air france 447 had they realized the dire nature of the situation of course they could have made control input. same thing on the crash i mentioned, the west caribbean airways. so the weathers highly significa...

The airplanes are naturally very stable. put control input into bringing the airplanes back towards wings-level and let it fly out and it will settle right down. >> american airlines told nbc news that it continues to be disappointed with the ntsb findings and believes that the design and rudder sensitivity were at fault. >> a decade after the crash the report stands as written. but in august 2010, the ntsb started reexamining similar incidents and urged agencies to take a closer look at the rud...

Airlines training program overemphasized the use of the rud der pan rudder panel inputs. going a step further john cox said the rudder should never be used in wake turbulence. >> the best response would have been to let the airplanes natural stability work through it. the airplanes are naturally very stable. put control input into bringing the airplanes back towards wings-level and let it fly out and it will settle right down. >> american airlines told nbc news that it continues to be disappoint...

They had to go back to airbus and they airbus, what happened to the plane? airbus said it was the pilot. the pilot used the rudder too aggressively. why would you ever construct a plane and ever have the control system in the plane such that if it is used in a way that it is allowed to be used your tail would come off. it is unthinkable. >> airbus told nbc news that it was not a design flaw that caused the tail to break off, it was pilot error. the ntsb did determine that. it found that the amer...

Board the airasia flight. one passenger from singapore and one from malaysia. and south koreans and one british passenger. the bulk of the cabin indonesian, 149 on board. there were no americans on the plane. it was the first commercial airline to have fly by wire. i flew military tactical jet. called the f-18. that is what i flew in the military. talking about fly by wire technology essentially what that means, you are a pilot we fly more simple airplanes where cessna would put in control input...
