Pilot Input News Today

Expert Panel found that Boeing has made its SMS confusing to employees and failed to implement a safety management culture fully to ensure its effectiveness.

By the end of the weekend. downloading all of that raw data and then begins the analysis. the understanding of what was happening not only on board with the pilots but also the aircraft itself, its systems and mechanics. according to the new york time, a piece of evidence at the crash site in ethiopia may very well link in crash to an aircraft in october in indonesia which used the same 737 max 8 aircraft. that piece, according to the times, is a jackscrew. it sets the position of the stabilizer...

Dive which right after takeoff is very unusual and very dangerous. the question, why would it in that position? it could be from pilot input, it could be from auto pilot, it could be from the mcat system, an automated system designed to help a pilot avoid a stall that would put an airplane in danger. it is that mcat system under investigation. if thats that same system here, that may indicate a wider problem across the 737 max series of aircraft and certainly a big problem for boeing. how would ...

>> now, according to the "the new york times," a piece of this boeing 737 they found shows the pilot may have been battling an automated system in the minutes before the crash. that information comes from two sources with knowledge of the operations. >> joining us now, cnn analyst oren liebermann. oren, good morning. what are you learning? >> reporter: the piece that the "the new york times" is talking about is whats called a jack screw. and it was found in the ethiopian airlines flight 302. the...

Wolf, as terrorism. force a nose down attitude of the airplane. that would do two things. its titled the great it would force an airplane to go very fast and it would force an replacement. $8 airplane to dive. in the minutes after takeoff 87 pages. a dissertation on a hate-filled that would be very unusual and very dangerous. view of immigrants, immigration the question then, what put the and muslims. stabilizer in that position? unsigned. its the killers explanation it could be pilot input. it ...

Have been a little bit more specific on reporting what exactly we had. however, they may not have known what they had. they may have had information on their screens that indicated some sort of problem that they were trouble shooting through a check list. and at this point, you know, its hard to say. but like i said, it disturbs me that something happened at cruise altitude. theres plenty of time to divert and get the airplane on the ground. something may very rapidly have occurred on board that...

Have landed. but, you know, when you have one and you dont have the other and they were approximate, that is a concern. we certainly want to try to get to that as soon as possible. if the casing itself was breached obviously were not under water but still element can get there and you can degrade some information in there and we want to try to get that as quickly as possible. >> as that plane was dropping at relatively rapid 4,000 feet a minute or so the pilots were not making any turns. what do...

Computers have over ridden the pilots inputs in cases of extreme weather. actually caused incidents and accidents. >> you mean after reaction from the pilots may have exceeded the allowed parameters. >> exactly right. >> i push it too far forward, too far back. uh im over simplifying. >> yes. >> in those cases, is that unique to the fly by wire air bus approach as opposed to the boeing approach which doesnt have the fly by wire traditionally here? >> most new aircraft now do have fly by wire. it...

And the seat of your pants, but planes arent like that. planes are engineered to do so much more and we had several accidents where, you know, it was blamed they said pilot suicide, it was a rutter deflection or they said it was an intentional action or a bomb and it wasnt, it was an exploding fuel tank. im reluctant to say and assume that somebody did this just based on past accident investigation. so much can go on on these wonderful, modern planes but when it goes wrong, it can go wrong witho...

Link between the cockpit controls and the flight controls on the tail, the rudder and the wings. what happens is is the pilot controls the control wheel and the control yoke and the throttles are connected to flight computers that interpret the pilots input. if the computer accepts the inputs it then transmits that data to the aircraft flight controls. what happens is some pilots have reported loss of control of the aircraft without any pilot input. this has been a problem dogging the airbus ser...
