The speed decreased fairly rapidly to the point that a warning device this the airplane activated -- >> the warning system seems to take the captain by surprise. it should be a fairly simple correction to get the plane's speed back up. >> instead of letting the airplane's nose drop to build up the air speed, he gave it full power. he lifted the nose up. he should have done the exact opposite thing. >> planes generally fly at a slight nose up angle. this makes air move faster over the top of the wing than bottom this creates the important difference in pressure needed for lift which allows plan...

Counteracting gravity. when you have a 45 degree angle at bank then only half of it can counteracting the lift. so the greater the bank angle the less available lift there is to counteract gravity, which makes it harder to maintain altitude. >> something was changing too rapidly for the radar data to keep up with. from 9,000 feet i saw one more hit at 1,000 feet. now that's bad. that's real bad. that's a rate of descent like a fighter jet. that's 8,000 feet a minute, which is screaming down. >> when that nose drop occurred, i realized it was going to crash. >> there is no further communication...

Airport in new jersey. the flight takes only an hour to buffalo but three miles from the runway the captain runs into problems. >> he made an adjustment. the speed decreased fairly rapidly to the point that a warning device this the airplane activated -- >> the system seems to take the captain by surprise. it should be a fairly simple correction to get the plane's speed back up. >> instead of letting the airplane's nose drop to build up the air speed, he gave it full power. he should have done the exact opposite thing. >> planes generally fly at a slight nose up angle. this makes air move fast...

Adds a lot of drag. the speed decreased fairly rapidly to the point that a warning device this the airplane activated -- >> the warning system seems to take the captain by surprise. but it should be a fairly simple correction to get the plane's speed back up. >> instead of letting the airplane's nose drop to build up the air speed, he gave it full power. he should have done the exact opposite thing. >> planes generally fly at a slight nose up angle. this makes air move faster over the top of the wing than bottom this creates the pressure needed for lift that allows planes to fly. with too much...
