S V Choong 4 Report post Posted January 27, 2015 From the press:Some pilot unions, including those at Air France after an A330 jet crashed in the Atlantic in 2009, have argued in the past that Airbus systems are so complex that pilots can be overwhelmed when things go wrong. The jetmaker denies this. Hmm... Of course they would deny this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was before the plane climbed abruptly from its designed safe flight pocket. What happened before that make the Captain unplug the fuse? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xtemujin 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) One AirAsia QZ8501 pilot's body recovered By Devianti Faridz | 07 Feb 2015 14:51 Indonesian authorities have found the bodies of the two pilots of the crashed AirAsia flight QZ8501, recovering one of them on Friday. JAKARTA: Indonesian search and rescue officials evacuated one of two bodies from the cockpit of the crashed AirAsia flight QZ8501 late on Friday (Feb 6) afternoon. The pilots' heavily decomposed bodies still had their airline uniforms on and were strapped to their seats. The cockpit was located 20 meters away from the fuselage on the seabed of the Java Sea. As nightfall approached, authorities temporarily called off evacuating the other body in the cockpit and will resume their recovery on Saturday morning. Search officials were not able to identify whether the first body that was retrieved from the plane was Pilot Iriyanto or his co-pilot Remy Plesel. The body has been taken aboard the rescue vessel KN Pacitan. "It is likely the body of the French co-pilot, wearing uniform with three stripes on (the) shoulder," coordinator of the search and rescue effort S B Supriyadi told AFP. A formal confirmation will be given after the Disaster Victims Identification (DVI) team finishes identifying the body, which is in poor condition, Supriyadi added. Indonesian investigators last month said French co-pilot Plesel was flying the plane before it crashed, rather than Captain Iriyanto, an experienced former fighter pilot. In the past week, authorities were able to find 28 bodies and have extended search operations for another seven days. Underwater currents have brought the bodies and the plane's debris over 980km from the crash site. The search area has been extended to Central, West and South Sulawesi. Flight QZ8501 went down in stormy weather on Dec 28 in the Java Sea during what was supposed to be a short trip from Surabaya to Singapore. Out of 162 people on board, 98 bodies have been found. - CNA/rw http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asiapacific/one-airasia-qz8501-pilot/1642980.html Edited February 7, 2015 by xtemujin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xtemujin 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Indonesia to release AirAsia investigation report by August Indonesia will release the final report into last year's AirAsia plane crash by August, the transport minister told AFP this week. The Airbus 320-200 went down in the Java Sea on December 28 in stormy weather with 162 people on board, during what was supposed to be a short trip from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore. "(The NTSC) promised (the final report) will be released by August," transport minister Ignasius Jonan told AFP in an interview, referring to the National Transportation Safety Committee which is conducting the investigation. The NTSC reports to the president and coordinates with the transport ministry. Jonan said that the parties involved in the investigation, including plane manufacturer Airbus and AirAsia, must accept the committee's findings and not interfere in the inquiry. "I have instructed the NTSC that the report must be as independent as possible," he said. ICAO has stated the investigation should aim at preventing future accidents, not apportioning blame or liability. The minister refused to reveal anything further about the investigation, pending publication of the final report. The NTSC has so far shed little light on what caused QZ8501 to crash, or what occurred in the moments before the tragedy. The committee has confirmed French co-pilot Remi Plesel was flying the plane, not former fighter jet pilot Captain Iriyanto. It also found the plane climbed from 32,000 feet to well above 37,000 feet in 30 seconds, likely in an attempt to avoid a menacing storm. It then quickly returned to 32,000 feet before "gradually" descending towards the sea. So far more than 100 bodies or body parts have been recovered from the sea. Under International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) guidelines, the state conducting the investigation should release a final report within a year of the accident. https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/indonesia-release-airasia-investigation-report-august-193210576.html Edited February 19, 2015 by xtemujin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted March 5, 2015 Facing up to my biggest nightmare: AirAsia' s boss Tony Fernandes tells of his horror at the loss of flight QZ8501 in the Java Sea Tony Fernandes grabbed his car keys and called his two children. They were about to leave their home, in a well-heeled suburb of Kuala Lumpur, to head out for the day when the AirAsia founder’s mobile phone rang. Fernandes knew something wasn’t right as he plucked the Samsung smart-phone from his pocket. It was 8.30am on Sunday December 28 and Bo Lingam, chief of operations at AirAsia, told his boss that flight QZ8501 had gone missing over the Java Sea en route from Surabaya in Indonesia to Singapore. ‘When you hear the words “we’ve lost contact with an aircraft” it’s never a good thing is it?’ Fernandes recalls, adding: ‘My world changed.

Cire 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2015 It is never easy when lives are involved. Whether its an airplane, ship, taxi or train. Most importantly that one's conscience is clear and learns from it and enforce the security block against such disaster. As a businessman, one got to move on as they are folks under your payroll that depends on your every decision. So, suck it up and move on, bluntly to say.
