Air France accident attributed to pilot error

 Black boxes recovered from the Air France flight who fell in the Atlantic Ocean in 2009 point as pilot error, the cause of the accident.

Events captured by the black box recorders, expected to be officially announced by investigators Friday, will probably slow jet put a dangerous quantity and the crew became faced with a series of failures of automation.


Pilots on the flight of the Brazil in France were apparently distracted by the faulty velocity indicators, reported the Wall Street Journal. This would have caused to treat incorrectly with other essential systems such as the adjustment of the thrust of the engine.


Sources familiar with the aircraft black box recordings tell the newspaper that the drivers appear to be confused by alarms, they received as plan flight passed through turbulence control automated systems. Turbulence is typical on this leg of the route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris.


The aircraft is also said to have faced unexpectedly heavy icing, which is known for speed indicators and other non-reliable external sensors.


It seems that, while primary cockpit displays maintains a normal function, the crew is not follow Protocol to maintain or increase the thrust that would have kept nose level. It is because they have had difficulty in disentangling the warnings while also keep the trace functions essential aircraft of the power of the engine and the trajectory.


Apparently, Air France pilots have never trained to handle such an emergency. But, since the accident, Air France and a number of other carriers have insisted on the necessary training.

Christian Boncorps, drunk passenger Air France, argues name is Ben Laden at JFK airport

 In a history that is immediately updated on Tuesday, a 61 - year man, said an officer of France Air tickets to New York JFK airport Friday night "my name is Ben Laden, and I have a bomb in my bag."
Of course, it really was bin Laden, but Christian Boncorps, a State of intoxication Yonkers man with a grey beard, who approached the ticket to obtain a boarding pass for the Paris-bound flight, reported the New York Post.


The ticket agent asked that Boncorps had in his bag, thinking he might have additional alcohol for long-haul flight. When the intoxicated course Boncorps he said his name was Ben Laden and he had a bomb in his page.


The next part of the story gets... tedious. The ticket clerk has Boncorps the TSA for a regular screening (no word if the agent has been issued a card gate or not).


The TSA agents took then 40 minutes to decide to call the cops, at which point Boncorps was completed with security and was to return his shoes on (his luggage was already on the flight).



A TSA spokesman told the Post: "TSA continues to consider the circumstances of this case." However, travellers can be assured that each employee of TSA and airport is formed to take all threats seriously and notify the application of the Act to ensure the security of the airport and air travellers. ?


Paul Nunziato, President of the Port Authority Police Benevolent Association, had some harsher words for the TSA. "We were lucky that this passenger was not a serious threat." With countless lives have been endangered by the failure of the TSA to follow its own security protocols. If the statements made by the passenger to call the police, while must be sought immediately, and until the passenger between the control point. ?


Boncorps has been charged with filing a false report and later pleaded guilty to misconduct in a Queens Court, for which he was charged the $ 250 fine.


It was a time (just joking!) since a drunk passenger got involved in air transport. In April, a drunken passenger from Dallas to Paris has forced an American Airlines flight to make an emergency landing in Chicago.
