Descent Profile News Today

Causes. first, the crew was late in modifying their approach strategy and did not properly configure the plane for landing. >> the sequence of events in this particular accident was in a very compressed time scale. they cant process or assimilate the information fast enough to identify it, understand it, correct it and execute. >> but the fundamental cause cited by investigators is the pilots failure to correct the abnormally high rate of descent of 3300 feet per minute. investigators say the er...

Sgr you know, i wish that there were video in the cockpit, and somebody loses the consciousness and has the hand on the stick. and richard, if you remember the psa crash in 19 886, and the disgruntled mechanic walks into cockpit, and he says something to the effect that i will get even with the management blah blah blahs, and shoots the captain over the captain with the stick, and old airplanes with the stick, and that is also a much steeper descent profile than this and this is likely to become...

Attempted to get the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder but short of not being able to get that we still had enough information to make a determination as to what happened and i think that with the physical evidence, that may not tell us what happened but cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder should shed light on this. >> and some of the pieces you are talking about, there was no radio communication and the fact that they started the descent in this area, do any of those d...

Look, david, i dont think we were ever going to carry that bump over into for several months. i like where we are to sipgsed now better than they are, particularly when you see millions upon millions sign up for health care and in reports today, republicans have backtracking what will they do about repealing health care when millions of americans are on it and an article a couple weeks back talking about kentucky where thousands of rural kentucky people who never had health care before are all o...
