Of all the examples you could choose, you picked 447? Did any report about 447 list Airbus as the primary entity deserving fault for the crash? Everything I’ve read listed the pitot tubes as one factor of course, but then everything else was the fault of the pilots. Recovering should not have been difficult. Bonin put the plane into a stall, they ignored stall warnings, they didn’t communicate, etc. It was a completely avoidable accident.
- dredmorbius 7y agoControls design, specifically of the sidestick's limited visible and nonexistent physical feedback of differring pilot inputs, and of input averaging, is discussed as a factor. Bonin's inappropriate responses to the pitot icing and failure to release the stick when Robert returned were the primary principle cause, however. And yes, avoidable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_447#Sidestick_control_issue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_447#Sidestic...
