How a terrible coincidence brought down this Aircraft | Tarom flight 371

As always great video. I’d love to here one of your own personal stories as a pilot. One challenge that you faced and how you dealt with it. Or one time that you failed in the simulator and what mistakes you made and what you learned from it. Is that possible? Thank you

The Romania CAA😢! I think you hit the nail on the head, The pilot clearly didn’t interpret his position correctly.

i read some time ago in a Romanian newspaper that the son of First Officer (who chose to be a pilot like his father) could not accept the course of events presented and wanted to hear the plane recording of his father..He wasn't allowed..One of the Tarom officials said that that recording might affect him mentally as a young pilot..I am thinking that they didn't say anything about the FO errors in the accident report cause the family didn't accept it

FUKK AIRBUS ANYWAY

Probably gonna be an unpopular opinion, but the first officers job; is to montor the flight instruments. He should of notice that the aircraft was banking sharply. And secondly he's should of notice asymmetric thrusts too Easier said than done. When ur personally in that situation

How about the Captain- you'd think it would relatively easy to do a full post mortein health investiagation of his life? Pilot incapitations in mid-flight not due to airplane upsets are extremely rare- it surely is important to know what was missed in his health screening self or airline.

I think incredible how so much accidents are related to pilots ignoring things like bank buildin up, thrust levers doing wrong things all by thenselves....

🙂 watched again. thank you 🙂

I think that defect should have been an inop. Sounds like Airbus got off lucky in the accident investigation report. I’m surprised the 310 didn’t have a bank warning alarm?

Dear Sir after watching urs & many other Aviation videos I got to know that in many Cases AIRBUS AirCrafts suffers from alottt of Electronic Issues & Failures...I hvnt Seen any video yet who says this BOEING AirCrafts was having this Issue or that Except 737 Max...

Wow. Talk about the holes of the swiss cheese lining up....

Tipical Romanina way ! Buy someone elses garbage !!!

I would find it so hard to think with all of those alarms going off.

Why this happened something so simple...

If you knew this was a failure that kept happening why wouldn't you monitor the thrust levers while you go from takeoff to climb?

The pilot ( batanoiu) said : îmi e rău ( i am sick) and then he has a hart atack possibly

There is a BIG difference between Russian vs Western instruments’ presentation….bank pointer vs sky pointer. The 1st time I got to transition from this to that, I kept crashing crashing…in the SIM of course, till someone pointed out hey that’s a sky pointer. Then everything made sense. Believe me, it is very very disorienting.

So? ? ? 無事生非

Respectfully, your mention of the old BAC 1-11 has always been known as B-A-C 1-11, British Aircraft Corporation

They should have been written up for exceeding 280 below FL100

What a ridiculous series of events, this has to be the unluckiest aircraft accident in history.

We're a long way from Bucharest

The bad luck involved in this tragedy was just unbelievable. RIP to all who lost their lives.

Why wasn't there a bank angle or sink rate warning? That would likely have made the FO focus on the instruments. And what was the alpha floor protection doing? Do early A310s not have that?

===============================================
With take-off and landings being danger points in the cockpit,
===============================================
why not have a member of cabin staff in the cockpit
to assist in emergency?

Apart from accidents like this one,
some accidents occur
due to lack of communication between cockpit and cabin crew.

Just being able
to announce "Brace! , Brace! Brace!" to the cabin,
when otherwise cabin crew would be in the dark
until far too late,
may save lives.

Flying is routine,
over many, many hours.

Disaster is sometimes a minute ot two,
when seconds count.

In this case,
the cabin crew member could have dealt with the Captain,
freeing the Co-pilot
to - hopefully - fly the aeroplane.

Seems CommonZense to me!

Just an idea!

Why does the autopilot warning alarm continue? To me It's like you disengaged cruise control on a car by tapping the brake. So now you're in control, what would be required for that alarm to stop?

Well, in comparision w/ Shanksville, plane parts were found. Vaccination status of pilot unknown. Start thinking.

I can't watch this. I need gratuities crash reenactments a la May Day ACI

As somebody with no flying experiece I find the soviet style horizon more intuitive .

this eagle (logo of the air investigation romania) is really brave. not sure he would be able to fly! holding a cross in its beak, a sword and a scepter in his fangs ... oh boy.
still like the symbols and meanings thou.

Soviet type of artificial horizon instrument seems a lot more logical to me.

If i was LOT i would have sued for ripping of the livery.

1 mechanical error, 1 incapitated pilot and 1 pilot error. All happening at once.

As a lay-person the Soviet style attitude indicator seems much, much easier to comprehend, is there a reason western aviation adopted the less instinctive moving horizon indicator?

wow i m romanian and never knew about this traged, since it happened a couple of month beforemy birth. just tragic and depressing all around.

Soviet artificial horizon is way easy to understand 😮

we'll be bring some no auto system on tarom 371...

VHS vs Betamax - Please Russian manufacturers create horizon instruction similar to the rest of the world.
No Bigeee

World's worst FO

How can pilots not notice those big thrust levers position? The FO should have stabilized the aircraft in level flight before he attended to the Captain. Also how could the FO not notice the attitude of the aircraft longe before it got so critical??

Good video. Did anyone bother to investigate the medical history of the captain? The sudden incapacitation sounds very strange.

Allowing this defect in the throttle mechanism to remain for so long in a working aircraft is unforgivable.

Having this defect present on EVERY flight was a serious, intolerable threat to every flight. An accident waiting to happen. This aircraft should have been grounded until this problem was fixed, regardless of the costs.

why aren’t aircraft’s grounded after issues like the one they had?

Aviate, navigate and communicate

It’s interesting that the investigation didn’t find what you discovered through essentially crowdsourcing your curiosity. Thank you and your “crowd” for taking the time to offer a possible explanation to this event and the FOs behaviour.

Can you do a video on Howard Hughes?
