I care deeply about airline safety, but I don't wade into plane crashes. As the world gets back to the skies, everyone wants to protect the record of air travel being the safest form of travel.
I couldn't help but wonder if the pilots of this plane prevented a horrible disaster when they approach Paris Charles De Gaulle airport.
It sounds like something went very oddly wrong given the professionalism of the crew. The plane stopped responding to the pilots commands and began to turn left at low altitude.
When you listen to the audio, you will likely agree that more should come out about this. Huge thanks to the pilots who overcame the challenges presented on approach.
The final approach into the airport for Air France Flight 11 from New York JFK to Paris CDG took a dramatic turn when the tone on the radio suddenly changed.
It was clear that something went wrong very quickly, from the confirmation of landing clearance to heavy breathing while yelling at the plane.
This clip is not for the faint of heart.
The plane was at or around 1,500 feet, where movements are ideally at a minimum to create stability on the approach, which is why minor incidents above 30,000 feet are usually dealt with quickly.
Air traffic control canceled approach clearance after the plane began to bank left and deviate off course. Air France commented on the situation to our friends.
The Boeing 777 has had an excellent safety record despite the fact that it has suffered from unresponsive controls and improper computer based corrections.
One of the most popular long haul planes in the world is the Boeing 777. It has been in the skies for nearly 30 years.
There haven't been many documented incidences of flight crews losing control of the aircraft and finding it unresponsive. I'm not aware of many times where it changed course on its own. Particularly during a critical phase of flight.
More formal investigations will likely follow from the European Air Safety Agency as news of the missed approach gathers steam.
It seems as if the flight crew wrestled the plane from what could have been a very unfortunate event. I want to hear their official statements on the incident.
The safety of a large airplane with cutting edge tech is impacted by how easy it is to stream cat videos from your mobile phone. It can potentially, quite a bit. The US wireless network companies planned to turn on.

There are some things in life that are not good to read. Every person on a plane has a loved one that they rely on and can bring joy and laughter to the world. Losing people on a plane is sad.

Happy 50th Birthday to the Queen of The Skies... Boeing faced a crisis in 1969. The future of the US aviation industry is dependent on the most obscure looking airplane design in modern history. It is a living legend 49 years later. The original Jumbo Jet.
