Amazingly (or actually not), the terrain/pull up warning reduced crashes by about 90% over night once GPWS was mandated. No terrain warning due to being in approach configuration?
@julosx3 жыл бұрын
It didn't happen overnight, the earliest GPWS were installed as far back as the 70s. The game changer happened to be the TAWS, which explains that no airliner fell victim of a CFIT after 2010.

With an inbound flight in airport proximity and able to land, why is the controller so concerned about a departing flight still on the taxiway ? Seems like a lot of unnecessary fiddling about keeping a plane in the air so close to the airport. How about 'hold short' for the departing flight ?
@sidorgeorge3 жыл бұрын
Agreed. It sure seems like this was primarily the fault of ATC. And the priority should be landing the planes close to the airport, especially in such poor visibility. A plane is safe on the ground, so it can hold, until the incoming planes land.

How about communication being “turn left, correct” or something similar. The word ‘right’ should never be used unless it’s a command to turn right. It should never be used as a confirmation.

Flying into terrain will always be a high risk with less well equiped aircraft in poor visibility and spacial awareness critical.

There’s plenty of technology that could enhance the safety of aircraft but has yet to be implemented in the most obvious ways. Every time I watch an investigation of an incident which would have had a different outcome had the pilots known the _actual_ state of their engines, I’m always shocked that there aren’t any cameras to _visually_ monitor them (and other external structures/surfaces). Such a system would be inexpensive and easily integrated. The same goes for cameras which are sensitive to infrared and able to see through fog. We should have them in our road vehicles for low-visibility driving, and they should _definitely_ be employed in large passenger aircraft.

@davidtaylor3513 жыл бұрын
Sadly ultimately it was pilot failure. The fatal factor being...They were flying below the designated minimum altitude. As set by the NZ Civil Aviation Authority, and by the Airline for these Antarctic sight seeing flights. And that official rule was never changed! They were also flying in white out conditions. Therefore couldn't visually confirm their position. However the pilot in control knew Mt Erebus was in the area. So given they couldnt visually confirm their position. And knew they were below the minimum designated altitude. - IE below the height of Mt Erebus! The golden rule here is - climb out!! Get up stairs fast!! As a general rule, altitude is your friend! That responsibility comes back to the pilot in control! Yes the later navigation change had them flying towards Mt Erebus instead of to 1 side if it. As stipulated by the original flight plan. However had they been flying at the authorised minimum altitude. And as stated, that requirement hadn't been changed! The aircraft would have flown safely over the mountain regardless. And the navigation correction would have occured on the flight back to NZ. And that accident investigation finding was never overturned by any subsequent Court cases. Right up to the Privy Council! So the synopsis is. = There were 2 contributing factors to this tragedy and 1 fatal factor. - 1. Was the navigation error... and 2. They were flying in white out conditions. However - ultimately - the core fatal factor was... They were flying below the minimun authorised altitude! And in so doing, abandoned a critical safety measure!
