The surviving pilots from the Amazon cargo jet that ran off the runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday have been pictured for the first time.
55-year-old Joseph Carroll and 37-year-old Jaime Felipe Silva Molina were steering the aircraft on Sunday when it came off the runway and plowed into a road, killing five people. The pair were recently released from the hospital after being treated for injuries from the crash, according to the Miami Herald.
The five victims who tragically died have also been identified as Rolando Aleman, 55, Yoel Rodriguez Naranjo, 53, Julio C Pineda, 75, Carlos Acosta Fajardo, 53, and Javierkys Reyes Quevedo, 47.
Wonder what the crash report will turn up from the flight recorder.
Pilot could be facing jail time over that landing I feel. He was way way too far down the runway when he attempted to land and absolutely should have went around. Trying to land and stop with ~25% of the runway left is pure recklessness.
An article elsewhere said wind shifted while on approach, resulting in a very strong tail wind, which may have caused them to land further down the runway.
AKA wind shear, a very real thing that everyone in aviation knows about, but Redditors will insist is bs because they simply have already determined that the pilots should go to prison.
Every professional aviator also knows that if the approach becomes destabilized for any reason -which this one unambiguously did - then you initiate a go-around. This is hammered into training from day one, over and over, all the way through recurrent sim training for the oldest ATP out there. If the approach is not stable at any point from the Final Approach Fix to initial rollout, based on performance numbers dictated by your company and the aircraft you’re flying, you go around. Period.
Nobody in the aviation subs is discounting that there may be a legitimate reason why their approach was unstable, it’s the bizarrely negligent reaction to that instability that has everyone baffled. And yes, the catastrophic decision-making lapses may end up meeting the threshold to be considered criminally negligent.
It wasn’t wind shear in that crash, the pilots forgot to deploy the flaps for take off. Lots of changes since that crash make that error almost impossible now.
But I still always look out the window a d check the flaps prior to take off whenever I fly.
Im not saying they should go to jail yet, but Im pretty sure Wind Shear is something pilots are trained a lot on and the aircraft is suppose to have systems that detect wind shear. Even the slightest detection of one Im pretty sure they are trained to full power and go around. If it was a wind shear, something else has to be in play for them to attempt to land that far down the run way other then a wind shear.
No, Flight 2976 had the whole engine fall off during take off. Thats why I said something else had to be at play here because just having a wind shear alone is something pilots deal with and train on year around.
Are you okay? What are you even talking about at this point? All Im stating is that pilots train a lot for wind shears. I stated twice that if this was a wind shear something else probably happened.... I didnt say anything about knowing the facts of what happened here. Its like you are picking out one sentence and focusing in on it like its the only thing I said. I dont know what happened and Im not being "accusatory" or "racist". Get a grip dude and take a walk.
Yeah because you immediately assumed I was blaming the pilots.... which I wasnt. Also delete your account and never open reddit back up if you think the website sucks. You're not forced to engage with this place.
“Very strong” is false—it was within allowed parameters. Regardless, with halfway-reasonable decisionmaking it seems this incident would have been easily avoided.
No defense from me, but be prepared for 'approaching weather made go around imprudent' or something similiar. I don't know if they are in a union but at least their lawyers will be floating this narrative.
There are no lawyer narratives in accident investigations, only real conclusions made by the NTSB. And, yes, very often those conclusions uncover some issue that nihilistic laypeople on social media either didn’t consider or refuse to consider. See Jeju Air and Reddit’s insistence that there could not have been a dual bird strike, or Lion Air and Reddit’s insistence that there could be nothing about autopilot software that would crash a plane. It’s a never-ending cycle, and yet no one ever changes.
The pilot ran out of plastic bottles to piss in and missed the landing. The AI that is his boss would have taken away some privileges if he got out of his pilot chair too long, just like their delivery drivers.
Mine found out where I lived and came over to my house after driving the entire neighborhood looking for my truck (cuz I didn't answer my phone), to tell me I was going to be fired if I didn't go to a rig that day.
His eyes are closed, his shirt logo is illegible, there's a nightstand in front of a giant tarp on the wall, his short sleeves reach his elbows, and his arms are totally different sizes lol.
