Having watched the episode, I'm still struggling with 2 things: with the pilot fighting the auto pilot all the way up to 4000ft: 1. Why would the plane go into a nose dive assuming the pilot didn't give up on fighting the auto pilot? 2. Once the plane was in a nose dive and approached 2000ft again, why didn't the auto pilot level out the plane?
@bobkile9734 Жыл бұрын
1: Trimming takes longer than the elevator surface deflects. As the pilot got the plane to climb, the autopilot started trimming the nose down. By the time the pilot got the plane up to 4000ft., the trimming caught up to the deflected elevator and started to override what the elevator was trying to do. 2: I’m not entirely sure why the autopilot didn’t start to correct the dive either. I can only assume it was the glitch or it contributed to the glitch.

Auto pilot disengage at 10 deg nose down due to the glitch, but because it was so out of trim it drop to 1100 feat before pilot was able to regain the control.
@jonashelmke2564 Жыл бұрын
There's a good chance the autopilot was simply unable to trim the aircraft out of the dive, as it was trimmed all the way nose down - this is not normal flight, fully deflected stabilizers are quite unusual. The AP isn't made to handle such an extreme situation, especially if it only has stabilizer authority and no access to elevators. Basically, the whole sequence had that AP system just as confused about what the humans were doing as it was the other way around.

I've seen ball lightning strike a tree before and it was a very unsettling experience. A glowing orb drifting gently and silently through the air touched a tree and exploded like a mortar shell. I'm sure glad I didn't have to fly an airplane after that. For a short period (maybe 20seconds) my eyes could not even leave the tree the orb hit, my mind just kept supplying reruns of the gentle floating ball and the explosion.

I just was helpless to effect my fate. The plasma ball faded out just a few yards away. Terrifying yet fascinating moments in retrospect.

Fascinating episode! Still wondering though: how come the autopilot made the plane decend further below 2.000 feet that were programmed in to await the storm to be over and why would the autopilot have brought the plane to crash when it was supposed to keep it at 2.000 feet .. Was the autopilot faulty in this case?
@Neopumper6662 жыл бұрын
My guess is that since the plane managed to get to 4,000 ft and it needed to be at 2k, the plane had to descend _quickly_ . This caused the plane to go into a nose dive that the autopilot alone would not be able to make a recovery Of course it's my guess I'm no expert
@rickedwards5992 жыл бұрын
I would suspect that at 7.000'/min descending from 4000' would happen rather quickly. The autopilot did this using trim control essentially wrestling the altitude away from the pilot. Stabilizer trim adjustments do not happen as quickly as elevator response so passing through 2000' at nearly 8000'/min gives 15 seconds until impact. They reportedly averted this with 7 seconds to spare. 8 seconds to trim from full nose over to a climb and recover configuration takes time of which they had little. My question is "Was the autopilot disconnect a result of the thrust lever being fully applied by the FO seen by the autopilot as incompatible with the planes vertical descent rate?"
@Greg-yu4ij2 жыл бұрын
I think the autopilot’s memory or instruction set could have been corrupted by the lightning strike. As the pilots began desperate attempts to gain control, their inputs, including the thrust, caused the autopilot to execute a check which determined the conditions were beyond the limits of the autopilot to manage and it disengaged. So the thrust may have indirectly caused different check code to execute.
@WitchidWitchid2 жыл бұрын
Likely the data or instruction in an onboard processor in the autopilot control circuits became corrupted due to the lightning. Hence the need for improved over ride ability.
@hayleyxyz2 жыл бұрын
It's because the autopilot kept trimming it down, while the pilot was trying to push the plane up via the yoke. There was a tipping point where the trim was in such an extreme nose-down position that the yoke has no effect.

I was cabin crew for the airline when we lost the Shorts 360 aircraft that was doing a mail flight that day. So fortunate it wasn't full of passengers. We lost 2 friends/colleagues, and it was truly devastating. I never felt the same after that, and quite a few people left the company not long after. It wasn't pilot error or mechanical failure, per se. Just a horrible accident due to a series of unfortunate events with bad weather and icing issues. It'll live with me forever. I had to fly 2 days later, right over the crash site, and I had media onboard. Fortunately someone I knew, so didn't get a barrage of questions I wasn't allowed to answer. They could see I was struggling 😔

When we got home, my Dad saw that the hailstones had dented the roof of his car so badly that it was almost a write off, even though the car was only a year old.

I worked on the flight control system for the SAAB2000 and saw some of the lightning strike tests conducted on these systems. It doesn't surprise me that the plane shrugged off the lightning strike.

To this day I'm shocked at my reaction, which was a shrug of my shoulders and went back to sleep.We were suppose to land in NYC, but due to a storm (hence the lighting) we circled until finally diverted to Atlantic City due low fuel. It was only there the pilot told us we needed to switch planes because the wing was damaged.

Doesn’t seem safe to have an Autopilot that doesn’t disconnect even with pilots retracting the stick fully and using trim to control. If the Autopilot is fighting against inputs from human pilots it should yield and disengage. The fact the crew never realized that the AP might still have been on is disturbing. Close call

@@petergrunendahl2074 I'd like to see you do any better in that situation. Both (as you say well trained) Pilots were new to the Saab 2000, and were taught to react differently when handling a lightning strike. An electrical discharge could easilly short circuit any number of mechanical systems(Auto-pilot; Pitch/Attitude Control; etc.) Which is probably why the pilot figured the plane was sluggish to respond. On top of that, I'm guessing the "AP" light is small, and the pilots were focusing on Altitude, Airspeed, and Artificial Horizon figuring the AP was either short circuited or turned of on the pilots attempted retake of the controls. IMO: LOGANAIR is to blame, for putting two pilots with very little experience with the aircraft as the two flightdeck crew.

Forgive me if I’m being ignorant here but I don’t understand the benefit of having an autopilot that doesn’t automatically disengage when the pilot takes over manual control? In what situation would that be useful?

There is an accident of a Lockheed L-1011 of Eastern airlines fight 401 that crashed in 1972 when a Captain accidentally hit the control column while in a hold over the florida everglades trying to change a landing gear position indication lightbulb and he didn't notice that the autopilot turned off when he accidentally bumped the control column and the plane very slowly started descending until it hit the everglades. The worst thing about that crash was the alligator's trying to get to the dead and survivors because they smelled the blood in the water. In that accident 101 people were killed and 75 survived. There have been few close calls where pilots accidentally hit their control column and it disengaged the autopilot without them knowing, even though there is an alarm that sounds when the pilot disengages the autopilot the pilots for some reason didn't hear it. Now most of the autopilot alarms are very loud so it would be hard to miss that alarm, but accidental autopilot disengagments still happen from time to time. Now these days something like flight 401 crash would not happen because all airliners have to have GPWS(Ground Proximity Warning System) that alerts the pilots when the aircraft gets too close to the ground.

It’s not ‘Co pilot’. Everyone in that cockpit is a Co Pilot, where you said and wrote co pilot it should say ‘First officer’ Nice video too
