The obvious problem with having two ADIs is that if they start to disagree when you're stuck in the clouds, you have no way to determine which one is faulty. If you have a third, it's likely that two out of three will agree (although that's no guarantee that they aren't failing in the same way).

The only way left to these pilots was to cross check with their direct indicating compass system and correlate with both ADIs to find out which one was showing correctly. But being in such ahighly stressful situation it is unlikely that even more experienced pilots would be able to do that. Sad incident.

@@flexairz - Exactly. It is much more challenging than normal, but it is something every instrument rated pilot should be proficient in (particularly aircraft without a third attitude indicator). For those besides flexairz, when one learns instrument flying, one learns the concept of primary and supporting instruments. The ADI is primary during transitions, as it provides both roll and pitch information, but other instruments also provide this information. Pitch can be discerned from the altimeter and vertical speed indicator (and to some degree, the airspeed indicator). Roll can be perceived from the directional gyros and Radio Magnetic Indicators, and more significantly the turn coordinator or turn and slip indicator (which is required by regulation in the U.S. for aircraft without a third attitude indicator - I do not know if that was required by U.K. at the time, but I’d be shocked if it were not). Thus, the conclusion of the accident report that the aircraft was controllable.

It is a hassle if the attitude indicator fails but it is a summary of the other flight instrument information. The heading indicator will show if in a bank/turn/heading. The magnetic compass will show if in a turn and heading. The turn coordinator will show the rate of roll and turn. Altimeter/VSI will show altitude, climbing, and descending. The Airspeed indicator can show if climbing or descending based on set power settings. There are tools if an attitude indicator fails, stops working and or if there is a discrepancy between multiple attitude indicators. This is part of instrument flight training.

No lives were lost but all sorts of questions were asked about the pilots, grip of the runway surface and if the runway was up to to taking wide body jets. The airport is badly affected by weather and has a distinctive hump on the runway. It is actually uphill/downhill depending on which way you take off. Keep up the excellent work….

I started my flying career becoming a glider pilot. As an extended training I got instrument certificate. This was very tough and was performed entirely in the airplane. The cockpit glass was covered with yellow and I got yellow glasses causing everything outside to be black and only the interior was visible. The instructor had normal full visibility. He put the airplane in uncontrolled states and my task was to immediately stabilize it before reaching overspeed or g-overload. And I only had a few basic instruments and NO gyro horizon. This was done again and again until I was sure to regain control of the airplane immediately every time. When getting out of the airplane I vomitted but I got my license. I cant help thinking that if all commercial and other pilots had this skill, accidents like this would never happened. I was reminded of this when a young pilot in my glider club lost his visual references under a CB (thunder cloud) and was sucked up in the cloud and due to over speed and g force the plane was broken up and the boy died crashing to the ground. He had not gotten this essential training.

Back in the mid 1970s when I got my PPL you had to perform 3 hours usually as 2 x 90 minute flights in simulated IFR conditions. To simulate IFR conditions you had a hood/visor arrangement that prevented you from seeing out of the aircraft without obstructing you view of the instruments, well at least the flight instruments, the engine instruments were a bit hard to monitor. Nevertheless, the hood was lowered shortly after takeoff (around 200 feet above the ground) and left on until you were about 200 feet above the ground on final approach some 90 minutes after taking off. This wasn't meant as part of an IFR rating, but rather to demonstrate how difficult flying in IFR conditions is and how they should be avoided at all times until you have done the full IFR training. On my second 90 minute flight my instructor decided to make it more interesting by sticking a cover over the artificial horizon about 30 minutes into the flight and made me fly without it for the next hour using only the directional gyro, bank & turn Indicator, altimeter and air speed indicator. To this day I have never done anything even remotely hard as that 60 minutes off IFR flying without an artificial horizon. Which brings me to a couple of observations: 1/. While it takes extreme concentration and is phenomenally dificult it is nonetheless possible to fly an aircraft in IFR conditions without an artificial horizon. 2/. The pilots in this situation almost certainly had one good artificial horizon, but were probably unable to determine which one was working and which one was not. However, by cross checking both artificial horizons with the bank and turn indicator they should have been able to determine which artificial horizon was operational and which one was giving false readings. Hindsight is 20/20 vision and in an emergency, high pressure situation like this things can get out of hand quickly. However, pilots are trained specifically to handle such situations and even have something called the "Quick Reference Handbook" that tells them what to do in situations like this and I'm certain the QRH would have directed them to using the bank and turn indicator as a reference. I'm not certain this is an absolute requirement, but on the aircraft I have flown the artificial horizon and bank & turn indicator operate differently. For example the artificial horizon may be powered electrically while the bank & turn indicator uses a vacuum. This way something like an electrical or vacuum failure wont take out both the artificial horizon and bank & turn indicator simultaneously.

I flew this very aircraft many times when it was operated by BusinessAir based at Aberdeen. Following the crash I had numerous calls from friends checking to see if I was alive and well. I then took part in a BBC documentary based on the accident which included myself and a copilot together with the documentary crew, flying into Leeds while describing the instrumentation we rely on as pilots. It will never be known if a problem existed with both ADIs. For them both to fail on the same flight would involve astronomical odds, in 11,000 hours of professional flying I've never experienced an ADI failure of even one instrument, but nothing was recorded in the Technical log of any failure prior to that fatal flight. In any event, with only two ADIs for reference, it would take valuable time to ascertain which was providing false information. We are trained to operate on what is known as 'partial panel', ie. the most basic of instruments, compass, VSI, TBI, but this requires frequent, recurrent training not generally included in our training programs. If a failure was to occur during cruise, straight and level flight under visual conditions, it should be possible for the crew to recognise and adapt to the failure, however, should the problem occur during a dynamic state of operation as was the case here, not only in a climbing departure involving heading changes and, as was the case, turbulent conditions, to be able to recognise the problem and adapt in a very short time to flying partial panel would be almost impossible for any average pilot to contend with. The aircraft would be out of control in a very short space of time and likely irrecoverable before entering a condition whereby the airframe would be overstressed to the point of failure.

The plane should have had a turn coordinator. My IFR training was in a Cessna 172 that only had a single AI. If the AI went, you had to fly partial panel using the turn coordinator and VSI for roll and pitch. Of course referencing the heading indicator helped as well, but if your vacuum system was shot, you’d be limited to the magnetic compass. Twins like this plane likely have at least two separate vacuum systems, so sadly one side was probably fine, but they weren’t able to figure it out before crashing.

@@cflyin8 I think if a pilot knows that weather conditions are imc, then it probably helpd that if mentally prepares before take off itself for such contingencies. However, such emergencies are so rare that even experienced pilots get disoriented at times.

That's the same model of plane that crashed in Georgia on the year 94 or 1995, killed 10 people but not from the crash but because of the resulting fire that came after the crash.

If that's the same crash I'm thinking of, then that Embraer was a 120, not a 110.

Hmm, I wonder how hard it would be to acquire level flight by compass heading and altimeter alone?

Thank you for this it is a fascinating video! I really wonder if they DID have a double failure. Surely they were busy concentrating at discovering which of their ADIs was the functional one to the point of not noticing other instruments, sadly. I feel bad for all who passed. Seriously, if you are in a turn, you would notice a change in the heading indicator for example. I think they became fixated, and a double instrument failure would explain that happening.

Wasn't there a plane once with a similar problem, and they used a glass of water to get an idea of pitch and bank?

How about the 1972 crash of Mohawk Airlines flight 450. Crashed in Albany, NY. I was at the copilot funeral. He was my cousin Bill Matthews. Thanks

I would think that if the artificial horizon indicators were displaying conflicting readings they would compare them to the other instruments like compass and altimeter to determine the properly functioning one. Maybe that just comes with the experience the pilots were lacking here.

Why don't they have something in the cockpit like a plumb bob, a weight on the end of a string. Seems like gravity would always give you an indication of which direction is down. There's probably a simple explanation of why that wouldn't work that I can't think of.

Today, a tablet or a smartphone could have saved their lives..just like when a small cessna, lost all electric power and engine, and an instructor had a tablet with synthetic vision and artificial horizon. Coupled with a gps navigation and a map, and also skills of the pilot, he was able to land on a beach.

Great video, I do laugh at this supposed 'British weather' In Scotland we get far worse weather and sometimes it can be around -6 degrees difference between norther Scotland and Newcastle and -10 between London.
