Seams the pilots fucked up this one.... no flaps or gear and trying to land mid runway.... they had no chance.
-
Looks like they may have shut down the wrong engine; hence the rush to put it down in the opposite direction. Classic case of shutting down the good engine when you're trying to secure the one that's damaged.
-
Still doesn't explain lack of landing gear and zero flaps.
Auto reverse thrusters kick in when gear is down which would have slowed the plane down considerably.
-
Reverse thrust has to be manually actuated, after landing, by the pilot flying. Spoilers will come out automatically, if armed. Same with autobrakes, but it was a moot point here with the gear not extended.
In any case, seems like there was a lot of panic with this crew and they just wanted to put the plane down. If they made themselves into a glider, then I guess I understand the panic.
I want to know why the #2 (right) engine thrust reverse cowl slid back and not the #1 (left). Was it a result of scraping on the ground or did the pilot flying deploy it at less than 10' RA?

Yup sadly pilot error killed all those people in a 100% survival crash

Blancolirio update

100% survival crash? I'd pay good money and submit myself to a little whiplash for that experience. -

I watched this last night. Coincidentally, Stalin DM'ed sent it to me this morning. Figured I'd add it to this thread.

Yes the birds trike was 100% survivable... pilots fucked up
-
Didn't watch much - but you got to think doing a Miracle on the Hudson landing on shallow water is preferable to belly skidding across pavement.
-
Man I can't even bank 100% survivability when I'm walking to the mailbox.
-
Well, that's your problem
-
Where you see problems, I see opportunity.

Well, this is not exactly going to help the investigation.

Yeah missing fdr data is a big red flag...
