The issue is that unlike the US pilots that tend to start as military or start with smaller planes and work up, so they know what to do if the autopilot fails, Euro Pilots get direct training in the plane itself. And they get to used to the automated functions to know what to do if it fails.
Euro/Other Foriegn*
in this case, it seems that Boeing did switch the engine types on the airplane and it was supposed to have the same characteristics as the old one but it seems it don't behave exactly the same. and the auto pilot on said plain have had problems in the past where it suddenly decides it wants to be come a underground train but was believed to be patched out
Ok first off
The undergoing train part made me kekking die
Second, I wouldn't want Albert Einstein as my pilot either because he's dead
Third, is this about the Ethiopian (?) Plane that crashed?
Yea but the overall issue is also when the plane begins to do something wrong the Pilot needs the experience to know how to disable and fly manually, and many forign pilots don't have the manual flight experience
yea, but it the second major crash with the same air plane model in 6 months
Wasn't it some other third country tho?
The same planes are in the US. But no crashes.
^
Why? Manual experienced pilots
Which country had the first crash?
Thailand irr
Hmm
This isn't an issue of 3rd world. Its an issue of most nations
The pilots don't get the experience, they are trained directly to the large plane
There aren't that many plane crashes nowdays...
Ok that's fair
we did get a reports of the plane not behaving normally form US pilots as well and luck was a major factor then that it did not crash
But most countries also don't have as many retiring combat pilots as america
No luck isn't the major factor.
I mean
Gibs money for attack plane blz
The major factor is experience pilots with lots of manual experience
OwO
The plane identifies as an undergoing train
You bigots
Yes it happens but it isn't "Luck" unless you count having experienced Pilots who work their way up as "Luck"
Luck is that you are at cursing altitude and not landing altitude when the airplane becomes a train
And again, have experience to know, "Hey this isn't right....I should take over and correct" rather than "Hey I have only been trained on this plane, and the autopilot is never wrong.......WAIT SOMETHING IS WRONG WHAT DO I DO?!"
Experience allows for earlier detection.
Sorry all these other areas have shit policies for pilots.
Yes boing needs to fix the autopilot, but pilot issues need fixed as well
both crashes did happen at take off and landing. so at times you have no time to react before you are a crater
The article you sourced about the US accounts of it, were also at those times
"In one report, an airline captain said that immediately after putting the plane on autopilot, the co-pilot called out "Descending'', followed by an audio cockpit warning, "Don't sink, don't sink!''
The captain immediately disconnected the autopilot and resumed climbing."
Right after takeoff
Dude. I'm not denying it is a difficulty. But EXPERIENCE is the key in most situations.
Fix the planes. And fix the pilot inexperience.
