National Air Cargo 747 Crash

[doh]

Sorry Golden Falcon, but have you ever flown the 8? Fly non-sked out of MIA? Did you sit down with the DOJ FBI DOT et al, and listen to their "theories" of what happened?

Personally, I have a little doubt that there was a cargo shift. Believe a more fatal occurance......

I will tell you though the idea of the improper trim setting vs load sheet is BS.


Sorry for the hijack,

From what I hear, overloading and flat out lying about weight and content is rampant. The FA crew were screwed before they started engines.

Not to mention the maintenance practices of said airline...... As to the overloading when the f/o of that aircraft mentioned to me that he figured out they probably took 10-20k lbs of more freight out of a S. American airport than I did, him flying a -61 and me a -63, departing withing an hour of each other.........they were VERY guilty of that...

Tragic. Prayers to the families of those involved.

Once again god bless to those guys. I'm just curious...does Kabul have the same type of departure as Baghdad? I'm sure that makes it even more of a handful having to do a Max rate climb because people shoot at you...I couldn't even imagine

I posted over in CARGO ...because I would not have thought to look in MAJORS for this.

What is the point of having categories on this website??

 

[WSurf]

Because we are all pilots and a tragic accident like this effects all in aviation!!! That's why...

 

[IBNAV8R]

Still at a loss. How is viewing footage and discussing possible scenarios disrespectful?

I'm sure if the crew had a voice, they would tell us themselves what happened and admonish us to watch our sixes.

For us to NOT reflect and learn, the very second after, is to me disrespectful - and stupid.

Very interesting. The facts above raise even more questions...

Some of those facts may not be factual.
