My conclusion might be too simplified, but as you pointed out, they had more than enough time and working instruments to correctly assess the situation. They made very basic mistakes you wouldn't think an Air France pilot certified to fly such a plane is capable of making. Yes it was a lack of training, but I would argue that their lack of training would have become apparent much earlier if it wasn't for the automatic systems. I researched that crash for awhile and it was mainly the pilot at fault. A failed pitot tube shouldn't have caused a crash of a modern airliner. It was the timing and the pilot freaking out that caused it. Out of the 3 pilots there, the pilot that was actually flying the plane was the very least experienced out of the 3. Captain was on a sleeping break, 1st Officer wasn't flying because Captain gave controls to the Relief Pilot. That in itself was an awful choice because he took over in the middle of a harsh storm. But it was still the relief pilot's fault, after soo long with the nose up to correct a "speed" issue, he SHOULD have known to push the nose down like everyone who knows about planes to correct a stall. Instead he kept the nose up for that entire time even when the 1st Officer took control, HE STILL had it up. When the Captain finally came and realized what was happening, it was just too late, all the time they had to correct the mistake was gone. So many people lost, because 1 pilot, freaked out, didn't think it through and crashed a plane. There has been other times when a pitot tube caused a airliner crash as well, Air France 447 wasn't the only one. Just, in 447's case, the relief pilot who took control was stupid as it gets and just got it wrong. Of course I hope MH370 didn't have the same issue but... 5 days now? No news about where the plane is? | ||

It would have to have been a nearly controlled landing... like Miracle on the Hudson.. and then have it sink in one piece. (for nothing to be found yet) I just think nosediving into the jungle has the highest chance of explaining why nothing has been found yet. Either that or it did a U-Turn and backtracked...and burned all its fuel and went down in the middle-of-nowhere Indian Ocean. It had enough fuel on board to go ~3,000 miles. If it made the U-Turn you could be searching between Perth and Madagascar. | ||

(serious question because i really dont know) i thought they somehow float intact Would imagine that depends on how they hit the water, no? If they hit it at a glide speed, then they could probably float. If they hit it at a hard crash angle, the plane would surely break up. Water can be less forgiving than land. | ||
