Apparently this is bad Why is that bad? With a lower speed he could be descending, maneuvering, climbing, etc. Granted, I believe that may be below the stall speed at that altitude. Climbing while at a low speed may suggest that they are headed towards a stall? Similar to the Air France flight. All speculation at the moment though. It could mean that there's a dragon holding onto the plane Did not see the climb info. I'll look again. ETA- I see the up arrow. Why are the posters thinking that is ground speed and not IAS? because ATC gets ground speed on their display, not airspeed. |

At night or embedded, all you see on the radar is the heavy precipitation. Most pilots leave a large distance because extreme turbulence and hail can be a mile from the cell for ever 10 knots of wind. You also can not see the cell building in the vertical before it has precip in it. |

However, terrorism was officially ruled out as the cause by the National Transportation Safety Board, which instead attributed the disaster to the first officer's overuse of rudder controls in response to wake turbulence or jet wash from a Japan Airlines Boeing 747-400 that took off minutes before it. According to the NTSB, this aggressive use of the rudder controls by the co-pilot caused the vertical stabilizer to snap off the plane. |
