Thread: Air India crash

Aviation expert? Well we all know what an expert is. She appears to an expert at stating the bleeding obvious.

You don't know what you don't know. And she apparently knows nothing.

But Juan does - and admits when he doesn't know. But to me it looks like the flaps were retracted instead of the undercarriage. But I don't know that, and the data is limited and blurry.

It would, however, explain the loss of lift if indeed that is what happened. Too soon for speculation, let alone hyperbole from “aviation experts “.
RIP

That plane was in Melbourne a few weeks ago. I have flown the flight from Melbourne to Delhi multiple times now - I have also flown some internal flights on Air India…

Time to change airlines…

There will be numerous YouTube videos telling us what the armchair experts think. Then there will be the clueless journalists writing rubbish.

I’ll wait for the official report and/or Air Crash Investigation.

i've only got a recreational pilots licence (and ive not looked at any footage for longer than 5 seconds) but once the plane is in the air, shouldnt retracting the flaps just slow down the rate of assent? not cause a decent.
