Name sake
I needed to have a time to respond to yours truly but time has been a full
enemy since Friday. A couple of clarifications.
This pilot is a very experienced pilot with over 100,000 hours of flying air
buses, but he had just even finished an upgrading course, so flying air buses
is his game. The 43 hours being reported are the hours he has spent flying a
777, so we need to understand the 43 hours and put it in real perspective. This
man among the jargons of flying he has done, he has flown several air crafts,
but when you only count 777 he has flown it 43 hours. Now having stated that, I
want to put this discussion into perspective than a negative of flying is a
danger. When you look closely at the flying industry, air buses have become
very efficient and way much safer. If you want to be troubled by flying, fear
the small air crafts, the 10 seaters and the kinds, but buses have been
improved to some acceptable circumstance. When did you hear an air bus crashing
and killing everyone on board unless you dump the entire stupid thing into the
Ocean as Swiss air? Air buses mostly crash on landing and taking off but their
bodies are so well structured these days that the integrity will not
jeopardized and everyone will end up safe. Except for the tail part, tha tis
what we are still worried about. Many times when you get deaths, those
passengers were in the tail part of the beast.
It is interesting that this accident happened on a weekend when we held a
remembrance of those that died in Air Canada flight AC 612. This past Sunday it
was exactly 43 years since AC 612 went down in a farm after taking off from
Pearson Airport, thus killing all 100 passengers with the entire crew. And that
is how all these reports have ben read, a plane crash and all are dead. Look
at this air craft that crashed into San Francisco, when you look at the Utube
of it crashing as I have, you expect everyone to be dead yet every one survived
except for two Chinese girls. Actually reports are now stating that the second
girl survived and jumped out only to be crashed by a fire truck. We might have
an incident after the accident. That leaves us only one dead. Air France that
crashed in Toronto, crashed just near where I work, and many times I have
driven on that street. But the stupid pilot decided to land in middle of the
runway when it is raining. He finished the runway and went through hundreds of
feet of rouge and grass, he went through the airport fence, went over the
street I drive over every morning, then through a second set of rouge {By rouge
I mean little valleys and ups} and then rested into a river. The airbus’s body
maintained its integrity, everyone was pulled out and no one died in Toronto.
After every one was pulled out, the aircraft went into smithereens. But
remember too that Pearson Toronto has one of the highest technology in air
crafts in distress and our response time is matched by no one. If any air craft
in North America air space has a flight problem, if you know you can reach
Toronto, get it for they will put you on the God damn ground. The times of air
bus crashing and everyone is dead are becoming unreal. And that technology that
was switched off is also a non-issue the weather was very clear and they were
cleared to land without it. The system is used to guide pilots if the weather
is un friendly or if something is amiss on a flight. If none of the above is
eminent you are cleared to land without it even if it is available and
functioning, so it is not a requirement to all flights, and pilots get that
clearance and land.
This pilot got that clearance before he landed.

Robukui;
It gets worse: the pilot was a trainee, with only 43 hours of flight hours
under his belt.
So, that gets Beoing off the hook and lands complete responsibility on the
Koreans. The avalance of lawsuits that will ensure will drive Asiana airline
into extinction, as did Pan Am following the Lockerbie disaster in 1988 or TWA
after that suspicious crash in July 1996.

Electronic landing system was off at San Francisco airport during crash
Tom Costello and Chairman of the NTSB, Debbie Hersman discuss the latest
developments on the crash landing in San Francisco.
By Daniel Arkin, Staff Writer, NBC News
A navigational technology that steers commercial pilots to safe landings was
not operational at San Francisco's airport Saturday when a South Korean
airliner came in at an awkward angle and crashed on the runway, officials said.
San Francisco International Airport spokesman Doug Yakel said that a key
component of the facility's instrument landing system that tracks and guides an
arriving airplane's course was turned off.
The airport has turned off the system for nearly the entire summer on the
runway where the Asiana flight crashed, according to a notice from the airport
on the Federal Aviation Administration's Web site, Reuters reported. It showed
the system out of service June 1-August 22 on runway 28 Left.
The so-called Glide Path technology, which calculates an airplane's path of
descent and transmits the data to pilots in real time, is a commonly used but
by no means essential tool, said Barry Schiff, a pilot and author who has
written extensively about aviation safety.
"The system was designed to be used at nights or during inclement weather
events, like fog," Schiff told NBC News on Sunday. "But it's not anything
that's required on a clear, beautiful day like yesterday."
Asiana Flight 214 slammed on the runway in relatively favorable weather
conditions — sunny skies, patches of clouds, and light wind.
Kevin Hiatt, chief executive of the Flight Safety Foundation and a former Delta
Airlines pilot, said airports frequently take ground-based instrument landing
systems offline for maintenance on clear days.

Schiff said pilots can use several other technological tools and visual cues to
make descents on a clear, crisp day. And yet, according to Schiff, the
unidentified pilot of the Boeing 777 somehow could not manage to make a stable,
steady landing Saturday.
"He showed a lack of skill, a lack of recognition that he was coming in too low
and too slow," Schiff opined. "He should have recognized that before he got to
the seawall. If he had, everything would have turned out fine."
"That's the big mystery," Schiff added. "Why didn't he recognize that?"
Federal investigations announced Saturday that it was too premature to
determine a cause of the horrific crash, which killed at least two people and
injured more than 100 others. A team from the National Transportation Safety
Board assumed control of the probe late Saturday and was sifting through
various evidence on Sunday — and it could be months or even years before the
exact reason for the crash is known.
Schiff said he thinks many commercial pilots rely far too heavily on
technologies like Glide Path and not enough on human intuition and skills -- a
sentiment that has been voiced by Mary Schiavo, the former Inspector General of
the U.S. Department of Transportation, according to Reuters.
"Pilots are becoming more and more dependent on automization and
computerization," Schiff said. "And when they're called upon to revert to
old-fashioned abilities," they can make mistakes.
The Federal Aviation Administration has advocated for flight training that
includes instruction in "manual" forms of flying and traditional practices,
Schiff said.
