Don't go saying that, I'm flying in a few weeks time :o

Not sure about that one, but in most cases when there is a 'stall' something (usually mechanically) has to go badly wrong first so neither pilot or computer can do much to prevent it.
e.g jammed elevator, engine faliure or anything else where the end result is that airspeed gets reduced to the point where the aircraft is effectivley 'dead weight'.

Actually you can stall even FBW aircraft which is what happened to that Air France flight that went down in the South Atlantic a few years ago.

The odds of dying in a plane crash are supposedly about 1 in 22.8 Million, where as its estimated that someone dies in a car accident every 12 minutes ...
So I think you should be fine Jim :up:

Funny you should say that, they've booked me to pilot a flight to Turkey around then.... :hmmm::haha:

Aye but more people survive car crashes than those involved in plane crashes :)

In that case I'll have the seat that's on top of the black box :)

That's what you get when you think you know better than the aircraft systems. Unfortunately that wasn't the only crew to either fight with each other (controls, not literally), or to keep pulling back despite the stall warnings.

Jim is now setting off to get to the airport on foot. :haha:

Tis 16 miles...would kill me now :)

Better ease off the spam and start exercising then. :yep:

That one looks like the cargo has shifted down to the tail, guessing something wasn't properly secured and with the steep climb out to avoid possible ground fire, it went crashing back, taking other stuff with it.

The sudden shift in weight made the stall inevitable and recovery impossible

Not feeling the love here.
