Delta 564 trip
The captain said that he was leaving the level of flight 1500, but it could have been due to high pressure, or perhaps he did not know when the flight levels started. Airlines do not usually train this type of information anymore. This is one of these new tribes with two years on the plane, I was told two years in the company, with less than 500 hours in the type. The point is not, but now he has a broken plane, and he makes a good decision to return.
Dispatch made them reset the circuit breakers and prepare their pilots on cars, but Tat is still not suitable for work, and therefore they have a variety of problems as a result, one is automatic. TAT is a total air temperature sensor, which is a hot probe is necessary to enter the air data computer for fixed air temperature and real air speed and should avoid ice condition. Automatic gold.
While they fly the circles, after dealing with the issue of reset the circuit breakers, the captain asks the transmission, “Is there anything we are waiting for?” The sender responds to telling them about the ice conditions on the road, but he says that there will be no time to his arrival. They should avoid ice due to the failure of the investigation. They will also have only 10 minutes of holding the albani, and I think the alternative.
Then the captain Disbach tells, “We are right in our low -peaks and spoke with the first officer, and we do not believe that it is necessary to continue flying all night, at this time without any Ottuts.” He does not say he is tired. The daily low statement was to confirm the time of the night with the hour of his body. He never said, “We are tired.”
“Well, if you want to return due to fatigue, I can contact the pilot to get it to the test,” says Dispach. It seems that the sender did not understand what the captain said, and he was told that the pilot must provide permission to contact tiredness. In fact, he was not so tired.
The problem begins
They cannot get a duty pilot on the line, so they decide to land anyway. Then the Duty pilot jumps and the conversation deterioration, and opened the predominance of a discussion between those who listened to the sound.
“Well, this is new to me. You are connected to air fatigue?” Duty Pilot says.
“I am confused with this fatigue for a mechanical problem.”
The captain tries to explain.
“Well, since you are by air, I suggest that you do not say that you are tired of running and more than that for the mechanical situation. I’m not sure how to report that you are working in a state of fatigue,” says Duty Pilot.
He was not submitting reports in a state of fatigue. However, if he is tired … Why does the pilot cannot report that during the trip? I hope that my pilgrim, if they passed the journey, would like to land instead of sleeping in the last five hours.
Additional factors
Today’s time and delay:
The crew was delayed by San Francisco. This was Redi’s trip. If you fly at night, your plane will face more tired than they were a day. They fly for the hour of their body and there is no way for them as if they were sleeping a good night and waking up in the morning to fly. This flight had only two pilots for the four international flights where pilots could sleep half the time.
Mechanical issue:
No automatic payment, no tat and associated failed equipment, and the possibility of automated pilot circuit cuts to detonate again. Personally, I will not take the trip.
date:
Delta had a 757-Edeye trip outside Seattle, which was turned into a medical. Then he continued to Atlanta and fell both the pilots asleep upon arrival. The first officer woke up to the hardware warning, while the plane was heading towards the ground with a gear. They should have been called fatigue.
Captain Delta left a three -hour day trip to Atlanta, in 737, without autopsy and autothrust. After three hours of the trip, then announced the state of emergency. Delta made a training video that encourages the pilots to announce the state of emergency if they lost automation, because they have data that shows the Delta pilots as a whole that cannot fly without automation. When asked about this event, “Federal Aviation Director,” Steve Dixon, SVP for flight operations at that time, confirmed that “it gives the impression that we will put higher operating requirements than safety requirements. It may be better to be a better decision to operate and fix the plane.”
However, on this trip, they encourage them to continue.
Some believe that the duty pilot was protecting the captain by trying to make him not say that he was exhausted during an atmosphere. Protection from what? Others hear the pilot who must tell him about lying. Some believe that the captain will face a problem by FAA using these words, but I cannot see them.
First, it is clear that there is no time for the argument.
The decision made by the captain, with the strong logical basis, was the safest path of work and ended there. But it was the sender who used the phrase “exhausted” and led him to the wrong way he told him that he had to speak to the pilot. This was an unnecessary debate, and the overcoming of the sky was shameful about the signs. This captain has never said that he is exhausted. He said he would be impressive at this time of night flying throughout the country, after a long delay from San Francisco due to midnight, and his daily hour without automatic flow.
Regardless, any airline challenge any pilot to discuss fatigue while flying. As for due experimentation, yes … fatigue occurs in the sky. There was, I did it. FAA will not make this crew to reduce risk before the end of the trip.
Listen to the video and tell me your opinion.
