ReconRat Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Was reading Aviation Week magazine today. Flight to Afghanistan. Pilot was playing with camera while co-pilot was in back. Puts the camera down near the throttle. Moves the seat back up. Bumps the camera, bumps the throttle and auto pilot shuts off... puts aircraft in power dive for 33 seconds. All passengers and crew injured bouncing off the overhead. Co-pilot crawls across the overhead upside down in negative G to reach the cockpit and recover the aircraft. Aircraft software automatically canceled the dive and speed about the same time he got to the controls...

what Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Guess the co-pilot couldn't face another day of being German and decided to end it all. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Guess the co-pilot couldn't face another day of being German and decided to end it all.:/ you've got to put that into context for those not following the updates. Some official has acknowledged that one of the pilots was intentionally locked out of the cabin during the controlled descent. During that time, he can be heard pounding on the cockpit door. The other pilot was "not incapacitated" during that time. So basically they're saying one of the pilots (although last I heard, they could not determine which one) intentionally crashed the aircraft after a nice gentle reduction in altitude that lasted several minutes, as if it were completely planned. My best guess is that he wanted to keep the passengers calm so they wouldn't help break into the cockpit(?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) I heard co-pilot was in cock pit. Pilot locked out pounding on door trying to get back in the cockpit.So someone could have got in the cockpit when the pilot exited the cockpit. Or a bunch of other scenarios. They can't put a $50 camera in there? Edited March 26, 2015 by Gump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smccrory Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 They can't put a $50 camera in there? Might be closer to $50,000 once you FAA TSO the thing, run lines to a crash-resistant cockpit voice recorder, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still just a tamper proof camera feeding to a DVR in a really good box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiztedRabbit Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) They said it was on the voice recorder. . They could hear the pilot beating on the door. And the consistent slow breathing if the copilot Edited March 26, 2015 by TwiztedRabbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 I meant I thought it was unlikely that someone else got into the cockpit without the voice recorder catching that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Maybe the co-pilot was really the co-pilot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Co-Pilot wanted to destroy the plane. What a worthless piece of shit to take all those innocent people out with him. Maybe we need more background checks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
