Respect to all of those in the chain of airplane flight operation. Every single link is vital, and for the most part everyone does their job.

Tragic and avoidable loss of life. Very well explained.

What software you used to make the simulator? Excellent video.

[@lornalewis9798]

You make great videos!

[@MPCFlights]

Glad you like them!

I thought United registration numbers ended in UA?

[@moiraatkinson]

I never knew such a catastrophe could result from the CG being out in a large aircraft. The miss set trim was another problem - again, I would hope on its own, a miss set trim could be corrected before it brought the plane down. I suppose it’s not easy to spot on the walk around.

Great video. I'm upgrading my PC soon and wondered what kit you use - CPU, RAM, graphics - to get that level of realism. Be grateful for any suggestions, thanks.

Was The Cargo Ok???

[@paulazemeckis7835]

So what did the air crash investigate r's say... the root cause? Didn't hear that in the vid.

[@Ryarios]

Center of gravity too far back caused the nose to pitch up stalling the aircraft. The calls were done for the expected plane and not the plane they used. Planes can have different centers of gravity for the same model based on how they are configured. I.e how many seats, spacing between seats, exact equipment and its layout, etc.

@user-eb6bw5jn1y I do.

[@Ryarios]

Such a simple mistake to be so deadly. I can see this happen whenever a plane is switched out. I don’t understand why the the airline tried to conceal evidence though, unless someone was telling them the recall had to be done and the airline blew them off…

[@jayreiter268]

Simple Some one signed the calculations and load sheet and wanted to hide it. He was hoping the signoff in the logbook was destroyed. .

McConnell Must Have Been Out Of Town When Douglas Built Those 4 Engines

[@marcmcreynolds2827]

Well, Pratt & Whitney.

[@sharongoodsell9341]

Im not seeing control lately in the plane crashes , are they to computerized, like all the car crashes , scary

[@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549]

This crash took place 25 years ago on an aircraft that was old back then, they weren’t computerised

[@davestrang8585]

Old freighter

Things obviously weren't *FINE* at Fine Air that day. 🤨

[@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368]
