Pilots Received 27 Warnings During Takeoff - Skyward International F-50

[@charlesschneiter]

These 'pilots' were completely incompetent and criminal as well. Most of all these warnings were obviously well below V 1 ....

[@thedolt9215]

I guess they forgot about the impossible turn…

[@clyneheretic]

It's worth noting that the Fokker F50 is, and always has been, one of the safest passenger aircraft in the skies.

21 accidents of Fokker aircraft since 2000 ... The Fokker 50 operated by Jubba Airways took off from Baidoa, Somalia, for a passenger flight to Mogadishu, Somalia ...2013 Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation Fokker 50 crash and these. Kish Air Flight 7170 Luxair Flight 9642 Malaysia Airlines Flight 2133

No aircraft can be self-aware against abuse when the pilots have the will.

[@gregbarnlund4102]

Some strange CRM going on there. A 54 y.o. captain with thousands of hours seemingly deferring to an 800 hour junior f.o.? In light of all those warnings, why the hell would they continue with their take off?

[@Randomly_Browsing]

Low budget perhaps?

[@roberthenry9319]

They are hauling illegal substance, pilot wants to get out of there.

[@Randomly_Browsing]

[@ralphra4998]

@gregbarnlund: I believe you mean total ABSENCE of CRM. These were not pilots, but contraband smugglers Hell-bent on their delivery. "Captain" of doubts and deferring to junior says it all. I don't have to emphasize the 27 warnings in such a short space of time.

[@ralphra4998]

Contraband smugglers Hell-bent on their delivery.

[@rapman5791]

Aviation Safety Network states in their reporting article that the same crew repositioned the same plane to Nairobi Kenyatta airport the day before this flight and unbelievably the CVR picked up the same warnings being presented to the crew as the ones they had during takeoff on the day of the crash. The investigators were astounded that even on the flight the day before there wasn’t even a conversation between the flight crew regarding the warnings and what their significance could be. 😮 Obviously the crew made the repositioning flight without incident so we will never know why the crew didn’t react to the warning system. I’m at a loss for words…How did this “Captain” fly for as little my as he did and not manage to kill himself or others before July 2014 🤷‍♂️

[@GuyFromSC]

At 7:06 you can see a sign that says “Junior School” in front of the building that appeared to be the most heavily impacted. We have to thank the good lord that this was a very early morning flight and that no children were in the school at the time. RIP to the crew, their families and friends. 🙏🏼

[@juliusnepos6013]

Yeah

[@pascalcoole2725]

I was stunned to see what happened. A Fokker 50, it's virtualy imposible to crash. But given the foolness of the capt, they'd never be able to make V2 + required speed due to overweight. How can one continue well before V1 with a known engine failure... Ahhh yeah... unlisted stuff aboard... welcome to Coconut Airways, we'll fly anything anywear no questions asked.

[@GuyFromSC]

It’s such an egregious case study that I can’t help but think that the crew might’ve partook a little on the “unlisted cargo”. 🤷🏻‍♂️✈️ 📦 🤏🏼😮

[@sylviaelse5086]

Every time I see what I think has to be the stupidest crash ever to occur, I later learn that there's another one that's worse.

[@mnztr1]

Did they feather the engine that was not producing power? I am guessing no.

[@simonjones3863]

Such a crazy series of crazy decisions to keep going. So many chances to stop this.

[@gregfolland6569]

Slick & stylish presentation - very nicely done! … 👍

[@Iflew727]

It's interesting that the investigators never mentioned the effect of not feathering the prop. They obviously should not have taken off, but the added drag of an unfathered prop would give them more of a performance hit than the added weight. Identify, verify, feather.

[@Errr717]

What the use of having a loadmaster if he can't be relied upon to load the airplane above it's designed load capacity?

[@cremebrulee4759]

He was probably told to do that. It wasn't probably his choice.

[@pierrebibeau9861]

Enormous amount of lack of judgment.

[@coiler3927]

[@THELIFEOFPRICE]

Mind blowing they wouldn’t abort 🤯

[@bombsaway6340]

Why would you continue a takeoff with loss of thrust when below V1?

[@kmac4171]

Was the Captain's plan to fly a 2 hour flight (actually longer since the airspeed would have been so low) with only 1 engine operating normally? Insane.

[@scottjuhnke6825]

Left engine loses power. Plane pulls to left. Abort takeoff. How hard would that have been?

[@onebridge7231]

Those two pilots got the other crew members killed. 😡

[@TheBeingReal]

One has to be impressed that 27 warnings were ignored. Bet that was not their first rodeo playing that game.

[@Gundog55]

I did t see where they feathered the failing left engine. Without doing so with reduced power and additional drag the speed decreased to the Vmc speed thus the roll over to the left. The captain with that much time asking the FO “Should we continue?” Shows a total lack of command presence. Number one rule of being a captain “You don’t let the monkeys run the banana boat”.

[@paulw4310]

Inexcusable! Zero judgement displayed. That CP should've never been in the left seat...or even the cockpit for that matter.

[@grahamstevenson1740]

it: it happened in a poor country in which planes are not the best anymore and they are used to small failures and to still fly with them. While a small failure in a richer country means "abort takeoff", a small failure in a poor country is more than normal and they expect to fly with a not 100% working airplane

This is like grabbing two random people off the street and forcing them to fly a plane. Unbelievable.

"Hey, let's put an extra 1000 LBS in the back. No one will know." These pilots certainly deserved to kick it, but I wonder if the other 2 crew were also in on the criminal aspect of it. I do prefer voice narrated videos but the animation and gorgeous sky/background was very good.

[@eucliduschaumeau8813]

Could the “illegal cargo” be the huge bales of green plant material in one of the crash photographs? That could also have been the reason for overweight. They could have easily aborted the takeoff at several points in the takeoff roll. Numbskulls.

[@RobertSweet-nw4tm]

Not much of an investigation if they did not examine the backgrounds of the crew

The cause of the engine failure (if it was indeed a failure and not incorrect operation) is unimportant. An engine failure at a speed below V1 should always mean rejecting the takeoff.
