In other words other pilots turned off the auto pilot and took manual control after the dang plane tried to crash their asses too...............Why didn't they ground that dang plane if that system giving other pilots hell..............if I'm not mistaken, most air crashes are human errorWorks both ways...................according to this crash the AOA failed and crashed the plane............the pilot didn't disable the Auto pilot and take back control.............or did he............you tell me.............and by the time he did it was an uncontrollable dive.............most air disasters are human errorNot a plane but we have a Toyota Sequoia which has a vehicle track system...........Causes the wheels to turn faster or slower in a curve.................Safety device to stop roll overs..................Only problem is when the system fails it does the same thing on a straight flat highway and tries to take you off the road............Which has caused people to wreck.......
So we went in to get it fixed...........Then the Toyota folks replace the wrong sensors...........does the same thing......so back it goes and we had to fight them not to charge us for replacing the other 2 sensors..............
Needless to say.........I'd rather not have something that when it malfunctions could kill you...............Sometimes safety devices are simply too many whistles and bells...........
2 famous crashes were because of stalling
Colgan Air Flight 3407 - Wikipedia
..this one is classic..the stall warning ''STALL'' sounded numerous times, but the pilots kept pulling the nose UP! --the pitot tubes were iced--but the head pilot knew pulling up was wrong
....so they are trying to keep stalls from happening
...since most air disasters are human error, you would think putting in safety features is good....seems like no matter what they do, the humans will mess up
Air France Flight 447 - Wikipedia
While most pilot errors are the cause...........computer systems can crash the plane as well.......and in this case it did.
Now we could say the pilot screwed up because he didn't kill the auto pilot..............or maybe he did and it didn't work.........That I don't know.
In regards to our Toyota...........the dang system didn't care what the hell you did.......it was going to drive you off the road if it could........but you just steer against it..................That is a problem and a problem when automation fails.
3 mile Island was part man and part automation..............so many whistles and bells that the operators couldn't tell what was really going on when the automation fails.............by then it was too late.
Boeing noted that the crew of the plane’s previous flight one day earlier had responded correctly to the automatic nose-down pitch and flew the plane manuallyas in most other disasters, we'll have to wait for the full report/factsSensors that measure speed were flushed and checked, and an electrical plug was cleaned before the fatal flight. Mechanics, however, did not check sensors that measure whether the nose of the plane is pointing up or down.
Before Lion Air plane crashed, pilots struggled to fix faulty sensor
Emergency actions of the previous pilots doesn't justify the fact that the dang sensors were failing and that maintenance should have found and fixed the problem..........up to replacing them all until the problem was fixed...........
You don't see that.............hmmm...........I'm an electrician..............and a instrument technician.......and if you have an intermitant problem they are hard to find and fix........so if it's critical......you replace the whole dang thing if you have to.
