A French judge has filed preliminary manslaughter charges against European aircraft maker Airbus over a crash in 2009 that killed Erich Heine and 227 other souls who were on board said doomed Airbus.
All of the 228 people on board were killed when an Air France flight from Rio De Janeiro to Paris came down in the Atlantic Ocean June 1 2009. You may recall my blog about this tragic event several years ago. Fortunately, some people over there (France) actually read and do something about facts and actually have some honor coursing through their veins.
The preliminary charges pave the way for further investigation into the serious bullshit that AI and certain "other" parties within the french government smeared around over this and other accidents in a truly amazing farce the likes of which even the late Peter Sellers as the pink panther would have died for as a movie script....I suspect that if you did write this tale down and submit it as a black comedy script it would probably be rejected as being way to stupid to be even a shred credible for said movie!!
The cause of the accident is very well known by both AI, Air France and select parties within the Chateau de Versailles, though they are maintaining the farce that the sensors on the aircraft sent faulty speed readings to the pilots.(You don't say!) Of course, we know that all too well. It turns out I was the moron with my statement that the system took control away from the pilot. It was the exact opposite.
In fact what seems to have happened is that pure supercooled water, on contact with the pitot tubes caused the ADIRU to give control to the pilots.
The pilots neglected the speed setting in their other panic procedures and were most likely overwhelmed with the failures they had of all automatic systems on board.
Automatic speed control shut down and the power positions on an A330 do not reflect the actual power situation and most pitot tube incidents on other planes showed the crew were way too slow to increase power.
SOP is to increase power to 85% and adjust the elevator trim up 5 degrees. In this setting the speed data from the non-functioning pitot tubes are negated until they encounter warmer air and hopefully start working again.
Experiments with super cooled water show amazing results. The pure water does not freeze despite being at -40 degrees, but should impurities come into contact with it, such as a wire rod etc, it freezes instantly to ice. Amazing shit to see.
Airbus says no one can know for sure what happened as the so-called "black boxes", which monitored events during the flight, have not been recovered, but we all know fine fucking well they have an exact copy of that data and knew within seconds exactly what had happened on board AF 447 and whose fault it really was (their stupid plane and their pilots). The black boxes have now been recovered as statement below states.
The French Bureau of Investigations and Analyses says it has downloaded all of the data on the two ‘black’ boxes recovered from the wreckage of Air France flight AF447 on the floor of the mid-Atlantic ocean earlier this month.
The flight data recorder has provided a complete record of some 1300 data points including the position of control surfaces, engine outputs, crew inputs, speed, altitude, and direction headings as well as aerodynamic loads on the Airbus A330-200 for the duration of the flight that was on its way from Rio de Janeiro to Paris when it crashed on June 1, 2009, killing all 228 people on board.
The cockpit voice recorder has provided a two hour long record of pilot conversations as well as other noises on the flight deck including aural warnings that are expected to have been generated during the circumstances that overwhelmed the flight as it flew through icing conditions and a belt of high energy tropical thunderstorms.
The investigators will synchronize the information on the flight data recorder with words and other sounds retrieved from the voice recorder.
In a statement the bureau said its team would make a detailed analysis over the next few weeks of the black box recordings in order to assemble a fuller narrative of what happened in the flight’s final moments. It expected to make an interim report based on the new data during the northern summer.
It seems the storm data downloaded from NASA satellites was key to solving this mystery. The small storm cell they encountered hid the much larger cumulo Granitus plane shredder cell from their nose cone radar system which only has a limited 50 mile range anyways.
The rest of the story was just a clusterfuck of bad pilot responses. Had they increased power to 85% and trimmed 5 degrees up this accident would probably have never happened.
Let us hope and pray all A330 operators are training their pilots for this event up the yin yang henceforth.
First order of duty gentlemen (pilots) on encountering such failure event please, trim elevator up 5 degrees, while adding power to 85%.(immediate response)
Sort the rest out after you have done that pleez.
Anyway back to AF447, after the clowns in the cockpit had been pulling their hair and manuals to shreds, the power was way too low and the aircraft stalled outside of its 10 Kt operating window and it fell out of the sky stalled and hit the water flat.
The wreckage evidence supports this theory, the NASA weather shows the incredible storm situation they flew into, the super chilled water phenomena is now understood and accepted as fact.
I just dont understand why a GPS system monitoring speed via sattelite is not used as fallback?
Works in my little plane when I have an instrument failure.......but whut do I know?
Thank you.
