The number of take-offs and landings is more important than the number of hours in the air, isn't it? It seems that the unusually bad weather wasn't a factor after all.

I just don't understand how this happens. I constantly check my speedo while I'm driving my car, out of habit. How does a pilot, a captain at that, not once glance at the instruments in front of him to realize his aircraft is out of control. Craziness.

There wasnt more to the story. My parents worked at the time with douala airport. It was legit clumsiness and irresponsibility

[@LandNfan]

I only have a private SEL license, never finished my instrument rating, haven’t flown in the last 30 years, and never flew anything bigger than a 172, but I’d bet a months wages I could do a better job than that crew. Why? I never had the opportunity to become dependent on an autopilot. Every hour I logged was hand flown. It’s clear that these guys forgot all the basics of flying an airplane because they assumed the autopilot would do it for them.

[@joevignolor4u949]

What they forgot was to look at the attitude indicator. When there is nothing to look at outside but black sky you need to monitor your instruments. That is all you have to maintain situational awareness. If they had been watching the attitude indicator they would have known the airplane was in a bank right away and could have corrected it before things went too far.

[@luntbanzi1967]

Or they were simply disoriented simple

[@joevignolor4u949]

@@luntbanzi1967 Yes they were simply disoriented, but that's because they relied on their senses instead of looking at the instruments. We evolved on the ground. The human vestibular system was not designed to fly. We are not birds.

[@joevignolor4u949]

@@luntbanzi1967 - It takes a lot of self discipline. You have to train your mind to ignore your senses and look at the instruments and believe what they are telling you. Some people think it has to do with having a big ego. Some individuals with big egos tend to trust themselves and their own senses more than they trust their instruments. That's probably what happened when JFK Jr. got into a death spiral in the dark over Long Island Sound. If he had just looked down at the attitude indicator and altimeter he could have regained situational awareness and leveled the wings and stabilized his altitude. Instead he probably figured he had it all under control until he hit the water.

[@dungeonrat]

The auto pilots is not engaged and yet the Captain takes his hands off the controls. Neither "pilot" sees any reason to look at the instrument even though they're flying in instrument conditions. Please remind me to never fly on this airline. The flight crew could not have SNAFUed this more if they deliberately tried!

[@104thironmike4]

I never fly on airlines of third world countries. Now, this sounds harsh, but think of it: countries troubled with corruption, poor living standards, where cutting corners sometimes is the only way to get by, etc: how can they be expected to develop safety standards to adequate measures and/ or train their personal properly? Sure, an airline still is an entity on its own that can operate above its country's standards, but would you bet your life on it? I wouldn't. And just to be clear: I absolutely love Kenya, its nature, its history, its people - has nothing to do with that.

@@104thironmike4 this was the last crash of this airline, the number of crashes from african crashes is not as much as from those in the 1st world countries. I believe incompetence is incompetence across the board whether it be a 3rd world country or a 2nd and first world country

[@104thironmike4]

@@jesseomollo9405 agreed. ppl are ppl and I do not make any differences in that. What I meant, was more that in certain countries certain mentalities, corruption etc benefit the incompetent types more, as there are less controlling mechanisms, or they are being underminded more easily. Please dont get me wrong, I am of course not valueing any kind of ppl above others, but having grown up in parts in Ex-Yugoslavia, I know how curroption can undermine the efficiency of standard procedures. As to numbers, I think it is natural that the first world shows much more, as the frequency of flights is just so much greater, too. I never looked into that in depth, tbh, so I wouldnt know. I guess looking for what the reasons are across the board, gives maybe more insight in the safety culture of the country in questions. Thanks for your reply.

[@Rafael-lx2xw]

This was the worst case of "pilot error" I've ever seen before. Seriously, WTF? They did EVERYTHING wrongly. One mistake after another! Are they real airplane pilots? Especially the captain! WTF!!

[@redastair]

I notice - maybe I'm just imagining it - that there is often a conflict in use of controls in these situations. That is, the pilot and co-pilot have almost diametrically opposed views on the best method of aircraft recovery. By the time you're a commercial pilot, I just assume that most of these issues are just 'muscle memory.'

[@johngoogle7626]

I believe, in a Normal situation, you have one pilot flying and the other pilot monitoring. So there never should have been any contradictions with the flight controls. Only one of these so called pilots should have been monkeying with the controls!! God the stupid errors here are infuriating!

[@Osys91]

So basically they allowed two dudes who apparently has zero knowledge to climb on an aircraft, knowing nothing about the instruments, nothing about reading monitors, no adherence to procedures and probably winning their certificates in lottery or corruption. That was a pure murder!

This is the problem with passenger planes nowadays if you ask me. The planes pretty much fly themselves so pilots think they can get away with being drunk/high on the job and when they actually needed to manually fly the plane they're shit out of luck because a lot of them rely on the automated systems so much. Teach pilots how to actually fly, not how to push some buttons and turn some dials so the plane flies itself. I'd honestly feel a whole lot safer in a plane with no autopilot whatsoever than one that relies on it almost 100% of the time.

This is a pilot error but that doesnt mean flying in bad weather is dangerous. It gets dangerous when the pilots dont do what they have learned and just go their own way and that doesnt halpen that much

[@jackapc4727]

There are around 100,000 commercial flights per day, most of which are carrying 50-300 passengers or more. Major incidents only happen once every few months (if that), and only a fraction of those are fatal. Yes, I will concede that pilot error and severe weather plays a large role in quite a few aviation incidents, but even then flying is unmatched in safety compared to driving or any other form of public or private transportation, especially in comparable conditions to what this flight experienced. I hope this puts your mind at ease a little.

[@alexandru7377]
