No flaps or engine lost thrust Hi Len, I’m loathe to blame pilot error yet as there isn’t enough information available, that will come when the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder ( the black boxes), have been analysed. What I see, and it is just my opinion on the very little information and videos available, is that the aircraft was struggling to gain altitude, possibly due to lack of thrust, and the crew attempted to increase altitude by increasing the “angle of attack” and , because of the lack of thrust, exceeded the angle caused the aircraft to “stall”. This has nothing to do with engines stalling , as most people think; it when the “angle of attack” exceeds the limits of the wings giving “lift” and the aircraft then drops like a stone. At 30,000 feet this isn’t a great problem, the crew can adjust the angle and increase the thrust and rectify the flight path…. at 600 feet and a possible restriction of thrust this is catastrophic. The videos available seem to bear out low altitude stall. What caused it, I don’t know, but I’d guess from reports that the pilot reported lack of thrust in his mayday call, it was a situation that they couldn’t overcome. As I said, this is just conjecture from me, I could be completely wrong. Cheers. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah i seen that lack of thrust, maybe he had passed the point of no return due to runway speed and had to fully commit to take off with limited thrust, but us mere mortals on here can only speculate, it almost looked like he went into flare just before crashing, prob instinct just to pull up from the danger he seen coming at him 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mitre 176 Posted Thursday at 20:47 Report Share Posted Thursday at 20:47 Only one has survived the crash they say he is British they are looking in to the black box to try and figure what happened as it was a nine hour flight from the place in India to Gatwick Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So that means they are coming to stay, my country is decimated with these people and I for one feel absolutely nothing that another 400 didn’t manage to make it.

We get it mate, you detest immigrants from India, Pakistan, Syria, Africa, wherever, but sometimes if you ain't got nothing nice to say it's best not to say anything at all. We can all have a laugh but deep down we know you feel sorry for these poor people. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 26,470 Posted Thursday at 22:18 Report Share Posted Thursday at 22:18 Pilots last communication with Air Traffic Control just released; “ May Day…lost thrust , unable to climb”. Seems to confirm my thinking that the aircraft stalled, the video seems to confirm this, but I’ll wait until the data recorders are studied. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just seen a professional pilot comment, either both engines failed or none likely did according to him, perhaps crew error. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would you trust them , with your nearest and dearest? Honest question??? Would you f**k....anyone with a little bit of something about them...can see they are of no benefit to the British public,our economy,our society as a whole...they are parasites,the sort that suck the life out of their hosts....I will sleep soundly in my bed tonight...400 less this week,to add to the burden 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
