Virtuelles Jagdbombergeschwader 32

The investigation board will provide information about their preliminary crash report in a press conference this afternoon.
Below is a short summary of the report, which indicates Human Factors as the main cause of the crash.

• no evidence of fuel shortage, birdstrike, icing, windshear, wake turbulence, or engine, system or control malfunction
• the first officer was initially flying the aircraft and was inexperienced in airline operations
• autopilot and autothrottle were in use
• the aircraft was initially high and fast on the approach and at about 2,000ft above ground the throttles were pulled to idle
• the authrottle went to "retard" mode and the throttles then stayed at idle for about 100 seconds during which time the speed fell to 40kt below reference speed
• the aircraft descended through the glideslope with the captain talking the first officer through the before landing checklist
• the stick shaker activated at about 400ft above ground and the first officer increased power
• the captain took control and as the first officer released the throttles they moved to idle due to being in "retard" mode
• after six seconds the throttles were advanced but as the engines responded the aircraft hit the ground in a slightly nose-high attitude
• throughout the episode the left-hand radio altimeter read negative seven feet altitude, but the right-hand radalt worked correctly

Berichte wie diesen liest man nur sehr ungern weil man sich ja doch sehr reinhängt gerade wenn man Flug-Enthusiast oder selber Pilot ist...
