Asiana 777 crashed on landing at SFO

[General Lee]

PAPI and ILS OTS due to runway construction.

I think you are right. Maybe they were thinking the ILS was working or they were focussing on a PAPI that was inop? Hmmm.


Bye Bye---General Lee

Does the 777 have a synthetic G/S like the airbus?

Something the so called "experts" don't seem to know...

Because that would put a contributing factor on the FAA.

 

[the turtle]

you can use LNAV/VNAV down to, well, whatever their minimum AP disconnect height....777 Boeing flight crew training manual recommends 200 agl

PAPI was working yesterday

The CNN so called aviation experts called it a "text book" crash landing, does anyone have this text book,

 

[paid4training]

I think it is in the Jepp Private Pilot manual.

Looks like there was a United whale waiting for T/O on 28L when they came in... Wondering if they saw happen.. or at least thought they were low....

 

[SLUF4]

someone said "go around" on the ATC tapes..maybe it was the UAL?

 

[Dash Power]

Looks like they were not only low (Sea Wall) but well right of center line.

 

[JCJ]

Major news outlets now also reporting 2 dead. Injured estimates vary, highest I've heard is 70. MSNBC reporting that 10 patients at SF General Hospital are critical, some patients were intubated & put on ventilator (breathing machine). Likely cause would be smoke or toxic fume inhalation during egress from the aircraft

 

[SpaceShipEarth]

Someone yelled GO AROUND at the 22:15 mark of the 1800-1830Z tape followed by the controller's voice in a completely different tone of voice

 

[flyguy75000]

The go around call was stepped on by the guy asking to transition the Bravo airspace.
