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. How hard can it be to look at the artificial horizon? More importantly, how hard can it be to keep your hand on the controls until you've engaged the autopilot? When you're a licenced pilot, I mean.

First officer doesn't do a readback of the captain's command. "Jesus Christ... They're gonna overbank the plane and crash it while overbanked." - Plane goes to 115 degree angle, crashes while overbanked. *sigh* Those poor souls who fell victim to the gross ineptitude of these pilots...

They had not received take off clearance but they still taxied to the runway and took off! A forensic team was sent from S Africa to help with the identification of the bodies using forensic dentistry. The crash site photos are horrifying - the plane had a full fuel load and burned despite the torrential rain!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
