"If he's going straight and level and he's got no airspeed, I don't know why he'd pull back," says Chris Nutter, an airline pilot and flight instructor. Its pitch was 16.2 degrees (nose up), with a roll angle of 5.3 degrees left. Because they are flying through clouds, the pilots turn on the anti-icing system to try to keep ice off the flight surfaces; ice reduces the plane's aerodynamic efficiency, weighs it down, and in extreme cases, can cause it to crash. These have the potential to remove a great deal of uncertainty and danger from aviation. One hour – it's not enough right now." Bonin yields the controls, and Robert finally puts the nose down. On June 1, 2009, Air France Flight 447 crashed into the Atlantic, killing all 228 people on board. But instead, he takes a seat behind the other two pilots. Following its investigation, the BEA recommended that The final BEA report points to the Human Computer Interface (HCI) of the Airbus as a possible factor contributing to the crash. Unfortunately, the vast majority of pilots will have little experience in finding the answers. During its descent, the aircraft had turned more than 180 degrees to the right to a compass heading of 270 degrees. According to the final report,These events resulted from the following major factors in combination:Before and after the publication of the final report by the BEA in July 2012, there were many independent analyses and expert opinions published in the media about the cause of the accident. What's the most pressing threat? Two of those incidents involved pitot probes.Another incident on TAM Flight 8091, from Miami to Rio de Janeiro on 21 May 2009, involving an A330-200, showed a sudden drop of outside air temperature, then loss of air data, the Following the crash of Air France 447, other Airbus A330 operators studied their internal flight records to seek patterns. As the plane is buffeted by turbulence, the captain urges Bonin to level the wings—advice that does nothing to address their main problem. While it is gaining altitude, it is losing speed, until it is crawling along at only 93 knots, a speed more typical of a small Cessna than an airliner.

At approximately 2 am, the other co-pilot, David Robert, returns to the cockpit after a rest break. While the airplane's avionics track crucial parameters such as location, speed, and heading, the human beings can pay attention to something else. TOGA is an acronym for Take Off, Go Around. The aircraft involved in the accident was a 4 year old The aircraft was carrying 216 passengers, three aircrew and nine cabin crew in two cabins of service.Of the 12 crew members (including aircrew and cabin crew), 11 were French and one was Brazilian.The majority of passengers were French, Brazilian, or German citizens.On 20 June 2009, Air France announced that each victim's family would be paid roughly €17,500 in initial compensation.The Airbus A330 is designed to be flown by a crew of two pilots. "When you have a captain and a first officer in the cockpit, it's clear who's in charge," Nutter explains. An even fuller picture emerged with the publication of a book in French entitled We now understand that, indeed, AF447 passed into clouds associated with a large system of thunderstorms, its speed sensors became iced over, and the autopilot disengaged. Air France and Airbus have been investigated for manslaughter since 2011, but in 2019 prosecutors recommended dropping the case against Airbus and charging Air France with manslaughter and negligence, concluding "the airline was aware of technical problems with a key airspeed monitoring instrument on its planes but failed to train pilots to resolve them".The aviation disaster documentary television series An article about the crash by American author and pilot At the time of its disappearance, F-GZCP was using satellite communication, its position over the mid-Atlantic being too far from land-based receivers for VHF to be effective.On the map, page 13 the coordinates in BEA's first interim reportMore precisely: that after one of the three independent systems had been diagnosed as faulty and excluded from consideration, the two remaining systems disagreed.The areas showing detailed bathymetry were mapped using multibeam bathymetric sonar.
Air France flight 447 was a scheduled passenger flight from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Paris, France, which crashed in June 2009. It is not clear to either one of them who is responsible for what, and who is doing what.
