[@markofexcellence5209]

The unforgivable part is that Airbus designed a system that made an accident like this highly probable. Pure negligence on the manufacturer's part. To understand the human factor, you have to understand the captain's thought process. He believed the right seat pilot to be capable, the aircraft predictable, and the situation to be safe. The aircraft's design flaws coupled with the right seat pilot's negligence is the sad part of this story.

[@justvid366]

For those who would like to know more about this tragedy. All they should have done was let go of the rudder. They didn't realize that autopilot was partly off - they simply didn't know it could do anything like this at that time on A310. They thought that autopilot wouldn't take into consideration any kind of forced movement of the rudder by the pilots when it's on. But on A310 at that time autopilot was programmed to turn off partially when it receives the signal that someone is pushing/pulling too hard. So it switched off the ailerons and maintained control over everything else. The pilots didn't realize what happened. On the footage, the kid says "It's turning", and pilots don't realize what is happening. Then the pilots started yelling at the boy to let go of the rudder, but they used a lot of pilot slang, so he didn't understand them. They said "hold the rudder" - it meant that he should have moved it to the neutral position and prevent it from pushing or pulling. But the kid thought they wanted him to hold it where it was - and it was turned right to the end. Then because of the overload, the plane was experiencing, the captain couldn't get in his seat, while the 2nd pilot pushed his seat back way too far and couldn't reach the controls with his hands. At the very last moment, they finally managed to regain control of the plane and return it to the horizontal flight, but there wasn't enough altitude. The plane touched the trees with its wing and then crashed in the mountain. Overall, it was a stupid and tragic death. Sorry for my English, it's not my first language. I watched and read a lot about this catastrophe. The fact that they let their kid sitting in the cockpit and touching controls was unbelievable. When it happened, the government was trying to deny something like this could ever happen. But then the black box was found and the truth revealed. Like Pulkovo 612 and Air France 447, this tragedy is a monument to human stupidity, arrogance and incompetence.

o i have managed, i think, to understand what happened. Thous who are fast to judge should read this. as i understand all the time till 2:08 12 year old kid was piloting it, at 1:08 pilot told the kid to hold the stick at 1:14 pilot instructs kid to turn left to level the plane, at 1:18 pilot was shouting to him turn right becouse they saw ground, or something dangerous, at 1:40 they clearly saw they are heading to the ground so the kid just yanked the stick up, at this time pilot was shouting to him to go away from the seat, now at 2:08 when plane is inverted and nose down pilot somehow got in the seat. And this is what he has to deal with. Only at this point they started to comunicate and try to corect this horendous stall. If you look at the simulation until 2:08 the plane only performed roll maneouvers becouse the kid was overwhelmed and focused to left, right command, ofcourse untill he yanked the stick when saw the ground. at 2:08 you start to see yaw and pitch manevours simultaniously whych is expected for a pilot. And also the copilot is in the seat and on throtle, and thats when instruments start to kick in, with speed and such. Jezus cryst when you think of it... if it were a bit higher the pilot could have recovered. So if im corect that means both pilots were off the seat and only the kid in pilot seat, and they didnt rushed to seat in when plane started to roll becouse they thought its autopilot entering holding pattern, also the fact that kid told both pilots at 0:53 that plane started to roll to the right says that neither pilot was at the instruments nor payng atention. So im giving you this analizis becous lots of commenters are giving shit to the pilots that they dont understand theyr system or that theyr bad pilots, or that they just stick with making vodka and leave making airplanes to the USA??? None of the pilots were in the seats till the fucking plane was inverted and nose down, you tell me another fucking pilot that managed to do this and live. Give them some credits, they could have leveled the plane after all this if they were high enough, just THINK about it.

We are talking about seconds, if he lost his balance fell down and knew that the kid is straped in and saw that plane needs imediat corection he just started yelling, and kept yelling.

It was the kid who made this accident happen actually. The boy puut too much pressure on the steering wheel as he held it and took the airplane off of autopilot. The pilots thouught the auto pilot was still on becauuse they weren't aware of that happening. So they trusted the airplane's steering initially buut by the time they took matters into their own hands, it was too late.

[@radioactiveplums]

+Miku meow It's called a yoke. The second child did try to move it too aggressively, causing partial disengagement of the autopilot and making it bank right. Because they were trained to only pay attention to audio warnings, they thought the plane was moving out the way of restricted airspace, however the plane then banked further and further right. At 1:25 you can hear the full autopilot disengagement alarm, obviously it was unable to cope.

[@icemachine79]

Piskarev's mistakes appear to be what brought down the plane more so than the kid's flight inputs. At the beginning he confuses the situation by telling him to turn right instead of left, then later when he takes control he pulls up so hard that the plane goes vertical and stalls.

[@newnewfew]

@@resdyne9590 The kid disengaged the autopilot partially while the pilots weren't looking by pulling too hard on the control stick. This caused the plane to bank hard to the right. The pilots didn't know that the autopilot was partially disengaged because there was no audio alarm, only a light and they didn't actually know that the autopilot could be partially disengaged just by pulling on the control stick too hard. This extremely hard bank caused the plane to stall. The pilots then pulled up too hard out of the stall because they were panicking (the autopilot would have pulled them out of the dive safely if they had let go of the controls) causing them to stall again because the plane was pitched too far up causing a loss in speed. They then tried to pull out of the stall properly but they didn't have enough altitude left and crashed.

[@Maverickf22flyer]

AIrbus didn't and still don't think many things that Boeing thinks about. Child proof is not a problem, lack of very vital flight behavior or navigation information such as angle of attack and stall aural and non-aural continuous annunciation is indeed a problem. The latest airbuses might have a better implemented alpha protection on the A-350 and A-380 as well as a flight path marker indicator (which most of the time determines the AoA), but as the A-330 (flight 447) that crashed into the Atlantic in 2009 and the A-310s and A-300s didn't have alpha protection, it seems that not all airbuses are free from letting the pilot accidentally go beyond alpha stall and as they look at the speed (they all learn that stall comes from speed, which is badly wrong) which seems quite good enough (some 200-250 knots) they don't understand that they are in fact stalling and that the plane isn't controllable in roll and yaw as it should. The implementation of a flight path vector indicator or a AoA indication in the cockpit (as the "smarter" Russian airliners have) would let the pilots know much better what situation they are into and wouldn't be so confused why is the plane so badly controllable and behave in a way that they cannot normally comprehend. The children where not the problem. This was a ticking bomb until some day an A-310 would go beyond stall AoA in similar IFR conditions with very little information to know what's actually going on. The kid only triggered this event much earlier though. The fact that for the A-310 the stall sound that was heard at DFDR 22817 moment (1:16 in the video), when the angle of attack went beyond the critical limit, only ran for 1 or 2 seconds and then completely stopped, didn't even give the pilots the time they needed to listen to it, to remember that sound and recognize that it's a stall alarm which is one of the most dangerous alarms to hear, so they were kept in blindness throughout the corkscrew dives until they hit the ground:(! At least in the case of the A-330 (flight 447) the stall alarm sounded for much more times but again..., it also quit unreasonably, WHICH WAS A DOOM as the pilots couldn't actually understand that they were indeed stalling and thought it was false;(!

[@levashov]

Maverick Su-35S mostly agree with you but the last part. Even if the would hear stall warning or stick shaker they still were too confused with rapid changing bank pitch angles, trying to override it. I have just read the final report of this crash and was surprised that leaving assigned altitude and autopilot disconnection horns has higher priority over stall warning, thus they heard it too late, when buffing was already in progress.

Unfortuantely to resolve the problem was to let go of the controls and the plane would have came out of the stall which they failed to do.

It probably would've eventually suffered structural damage if it weren't too close to the ground already.

[@sacr3]

It most likely did suffer structural damage, but not to the extent of being shredded mid air. These wings are load tested to such extremes where the tip will be folded up a good 8 feet, then brought down a good 8 feet. To have your wing flex that much in flight would be incredible, maybe it got close during all of this. It would take repeated maneuvers putting the wings under these kind of loads, as opposed to just once or twice, to cause enough structural damage for complete failure. I've worked on a B737 jurassic in which had a cracked rear spar, inbd LH wing, still flying prior to discovery. This plane, if they landed it successfully, would have had structural damage im sure. Rippled skin all over from the intense flexing, cracked stringers, you name it. These planes now basically fly themselves, pilots are only there if the systems fail - which is very rare. Most errors are human error, aka pilot error or maintenance error

And this is what he has to deal with. Only at this point they started to comunicate and try to corect this horendous stall. If you look at the simulation until 2:08 the plane only performed roll maneouvers becouse the kid was overwhelmed and focused to left, right command, ofcourse untill he yanked the stick when saw the ground. at 2:08 you start to see yaw and pitch manevours simultaniously whych is expected for a pilot. And also the copilot is in the seat and on throtle, and thats when instruments start to kick in, with speed and such. Jezus cryst when you think of it... if it were a bit higher the pilot could have recovered. So if im corect that means both pilots were off the seat and only the kid in pilot seat, and they didnt rushed to seat in when plane started to roll becouse they thought its autopilot entering holding pattern, also the fact that kid told both pilots at 0:53 that plane started to roll to the right says that neither pilot was at the instruments nor payng atention. So im giving you this analizis becous lots of commenters are giving shit to the pilots that they dont understand theyr system or that theyr bad pilots, or that they just stick with making vodka and leave making airplanes to the USA???

[@omarhaddad2504]

But I totally agree with him that NEITHER pilot was on the seat. It was always Eldar, and it was Eldar who stalled the plane. The problem is that a lot of documentaries claim that it was Piskarev who put the plane on a vertical climb at 1:57. In that moment Piskarev is shouting "Throttles on idle!" If he is giving an instruction while at the pilot seat, why doesn't he just set the throttles to idle himself? The airline and investigators lied. It was Eldar alone, all along, until the plane was inverted, controlling the plane. They needed a second explanation to show it was not the airline's fault alone, so they said Piskarev stalled the plane in a panic while he could have let go the controls for the autopilot to take over, and that therefore it can be argued that the pilots had not been properly trained on the autopilot's capabilities and alarms. The Wonder documentary claims that a second alarm went off signaling the complete shutdown of the autopilot, as opposed to only partial shutdown. But this alarm was triggered *before* the pilots took over. So once they were back on their seats, the option to let go the control for the autopilot to recover was no longer a possibility, and they had to maneuver manually. Since at that point the autopilot couldn't have done anything, the only reason for the crash was Eldar piloting the plane, so it was completely the pilots fault, and thus the airline alone is responsible.

Those who don't understand how the pilots (or even the kids) could make so many mistakes, this is why you train, train, train, and retrain.

I can't believe the captain allowed his teenage children to take the controls of the plane , putting everyone else on it in danger. Very wreckless. It's terrifying to see how quickly the plane is veering out of control due to one simple little oversight - the autopilot.

[@miksausitis]

Have you heard of this thing called Chernobyl?

[@rebeccamace1534]

My heart breaks for Yana and Eldar. The absolute fear they would have felt. Particularly Eldar in the pilot seat. The terror in all their voices. And seeing their father so frantic and panicked. And they were aware of what was happening right to the end. More so than the other passengers.

[@MachDoch74]

it is said, that Eldar checked, that his father "cheated" his little sister by doing a little turn via autopilot, thinking she did it.. and he wanted to do "better" by pushing hard at the stick, dont get fooled by that AP.. that behavior, and the recklessnes of his father, letting this kids in the right seat, killed everyone

[@Jarek_73]

Well I have watched thousands of video here but nothing of this sort, I feel totally sick about what I heard. Poor children and also their father of course, the knowing that due to your mistake your children and all other people in the plane must die is beyond my imagination. I will never forget about this video.

[@jessbullock8726]

+Marc Liljeqvist Are you kidding? I'd say the pilot doomed the flight by letting his CHILD control the aircraft, causing the autopilot to disengage. THAT is who doomed this flight.

[@deadlock_]

Cockpits are designed to carry a maximum of two people. By letting the kids in it they exceeded the weight limit, so it was definitely the pilots fault.

i dont blame the kid, whoever pulled up completely vertically after regaining control is a fool. After that they were bound to just fall out of the sky.

+thedocak 7 Yeah, they put the throttle on idle then he pulled back and made it climb vertically and when they went into a deep dive they decided to go full throttle. I'm not a pilot or anything but that sounds really dumb.

[@healthyperson8214]

@@Zechey They didn't have any control over the plane, after the co-pilot's mistake of stalling the plane.. The plane was literally falling and turning from the sky like a leaf.. The only way to re-gain control was to fight against gravitation, and to add full power, so the plane could at least stop turning like a cork-screw. I don't think there was anything they could do, but maybe they had the full-power for too long. They were probably seconds away from saving themselves.

Along with the emotionless 3d model of the plane and the lines showing its immediate path, leading down to the ground.... It's chilling.

[@Abbeville_Kid]

This accident was more heartbreaking than most. The fact that it should have never happened.

[@TheFlyingExperience]

Death sentence was when the kid (Eldar) applied just enough force to the control column to contradict the autopilot for 30 seconds. This caused the flight computer to switch the plane's ailerons to manual control while maintaining control over the other flight systems. A silent indicator light came on to alert the pilots to this partial disengagement. The pilots, who had previously flown Russian-designed planes which had audible warning signals, apparently failed to notice it....the rest is history. RIP

[@Tarheel13]

Right. No audible warning the auto pilot was partially disengaged

[@yourdadmyson]

how about the AP light

[@gamertardguardian1299]

Damn, a sign of hope there at the end, the one time the pilot or co-pilot did not yank the throttle, the one time that he actually did a calm pull to have a steady airflow, all to late, that kills me

One of the more terrifying crash sequences I've ever seen. It drops like a fucking stone.

The fact that the children were piloting it was not the only factor that caused the plane to crash. The autopilot changed some settings and the crew didn't notice. Another factor was the stall recovery done incorrectly
